The establishment of a guilt is a condition precedent to charge or implicate a person in a criminal case as an alleged accused. Further, if a prima facie guilt or prima facie case is not made out by the Police or the Prosecution against the alleged accused then the same is a valid criminal defense or a valid ground for bail in order to obtain anticipatory bail or regular bail. An application for anticipatory bail is filed before the Sessions Court and an appeal is filed before the High Court.
