Bail is the rule, jail is the exception. This legal principle exists to protect the personal liberty of citizens. However, obtaining bail requires a deep understanding of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
1. Types of Bail You Must Know
- Anticipatory Bail (Section 438 CrPC): This is for people who anticipate arrest. If you have been threatened with a false criminal case, you can approach the Sessions Court or High Court before the police arrest you.
- Regular Bail (Section 437/439 CrPC): If a person is already in custody (police or judicial), they must apply for regular bail.
- Interim Bail: A temporary relief granted for a short period while the main bail application is pending.
2. On What Grounds is Bail Granted?
Judges in Surat courts typically look at four things:
- Gravity of Offence: Is it a minor theft or a serious murder charge?
- Flight Risk: Will the accused run away if released?
- Tampering: Is there a chance the accused will threaten witnesses?
- Parity: If a co-accused has been granted bail, you may also be entitled to it.
