Under section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, an application for anticipatory bail can be made to which of the following courts?

Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 confers the power to grant anticipatory bail and expressly provides that the application may be made to the High Court or to the Court of Session. Magistrates, whether judicial or executive, have no jurisdiction in the matter, since the power is reserved to the superior courts. The Sanhita also imposes a statutory bar on grant of anticipatory bail in respect of offences under sections 65 and 70(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which cover rape of a girl below sixteen years and rape causing death or a persistent vegetative state respectively. The Supreme Court is not mentioned in section 482 because such applications are entertained in the first instance by the High Court or the Court of Session, making that combination the correct answer.
