Resident Indians have to take the pain of hiding until the bail is granted. But NRIs can go to work at ease while applying AB.
You can apply for anticipatory bail in the court of your friend/relative's convenience. (District or Sessions court. Don't go directly to High Court first; they will send you to lower court or otherwise if the conditions are not good you will end up with only one option of going Supreme Court.) There will be only three possibilities..
a) Bail granted without any serious conditions.
b) Bail granted with messy conditions like surrender of passport, mark attendance at local police station every day/week etc
c) Bail rejected
Case (a) - You can simply pay a visit to India and get it executed to regular bail. Its just a matter of meeting the Magistrate in his chamber along with your lawyer and get the bail memo within no time. Then it is wise to hand over the memo to the IO in person and say hello to him. Trust me he will not utter anything at you. (This can be done through your lawyer if you are not confident enough)
Case (b) & (c) - You can go to High Court to relax the terms. If still you are not happy with the terms you may either go to Supreme Court or let the AB expire. Then continue your life abroad for few months and iterate the process again. Next time you can say because of official commitments you couldn't get vacation.
