Do I need a criminal lawyer to apply for bail?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people only start thinking about bail once they, or someone close to them, actually needs it&nbsp; and by then, the terminology can feel like a wall. Regular bail, anticipatory bail, default bail, bailable, non-bailable; these aren&#8217;t interchangeable words, and using the wrong one at the wrong stage can cost you time you don&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put simply, bail is the legal mechanism that allows a person to remain out of custody while a criminal case against them is pending, usually on certain conditions and often against a bond or surety. It exists in different forms because arrest and custody happen at different points in a criminal proceeding, and the law responds differently depending on where you are in that timeline &nbsp; whether you&#8217;re already in custody, worried you might be arrested, or caught in an investigation that&#8217;s dragging on. It&#8217;s also worth being clear on one distinction early: bail is not the same as being cleared of the case. It simply means you&#8217;re not in custody while the case runs its course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This post walks through the main types of bail available under Indian law, when each one applies, and how the process generally works if you&#8217;re looking to apply. If your situation is more urgent, it may help to speak directly with a<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/anikandassociates.com\/criminal-lawyers-in-bangalore\">criminal lawyer in Bangalore<\/a><\/strong> rather than working through this alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_Bail\"><\/span><strong>What is Bail?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At its core, bail is the temporary release of a person accused of an offence, granted by a court (or, in some cases, the police) subject to conditions meant to ensure the person shows up for trial and doesn&#8217;t interfere with the investigation. It isn&#8217;t a verdict on guilt or innocence &nbsp; that question is decided much later, at trial. Bail exists because the law recognises a basic principle: a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and locking someone up before that determination is made should be the exception, not the default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, bail isn&#8217;t automatic. Courts weigh it against the needs of the investigation and the interests of justice, which is exactly why the different types of bail exist; each is designed for a different moment in the life of a criminal case. For more detail on how these categories differ from one another, see our dedicated guide to types of bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_the_Main_Types_of_Bail_in_India\"><\/span><strong>What Are the Main Types of Bail in India?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Regular_Bail\"><\/span>1. <strong>Regular Bail<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular bail is one of the common remedies which arises once the person has been booked into custody. An application sought by the court for the purpose of obtaining release pending trial, which clearly involves the on-going arrest and custody. If you wish to know about the specific procedures for the local area, please refer to our detailed blog on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/anikandassociates.com\/blog\/how-to-get-bail-in-bangalore-a-complete-legal-guide\/\"><strong>how to get bail in Bangalore<\/strong><\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Anticipatory_Bail\"><\/span>2. <strong>Anticipatory Bail<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone has a reasonable apprehension of being arrested for a non-bailable offence, he seeks anticipatory bail. This is the protection order that&#8217;s issued prior to an arrest, not after. If you wish to know about the specific procedures for the local area, please refer to our detailed blog on \u201cAnticipatary bail in Bangalore\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Interim_Bail\"><\/span>3. <strong>Interim Bail<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interim bail is a bail for a temporary period or for a specific period. The situations in which it may be sought may include any emergency or situations where, for example, a regular or anticipatory bail application is pending in a higher court and the person wishes to be released from such bail. The situations where it can be sought include emergencies such as a family funeral, major medical issues and when a person seeks to get released from a regular or anticipatory bail pending with a higher court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Default_Bail_Statutory_Bail\"><\/span>4. <strong>Default Bail \/ Statutory Bail<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a very specific type of bail and relates directly to investigation time frames. The law states that when the investigating agency doesn&#8217;t file the charge sheet within the stipulated period, the accused holds an \u2018indefeasible right to release\u2019 if they fulfil all legal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Bail_in_Bailable_Offences\"><\/span>5. <strong>Bail in Bailable Offences<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person is entitled to get bail in bailable offences. In general, the police or the court shall release the person when he\/she has posted a bond. The most important difference with non-bailable offences is that there is no room for the judge&#8217;s discretion on whether or not to grant bail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_In_Non-Bailable_Offences_bail_is_available_only_with_the_permission_of_the_High_Court\"><\/span>6. <strong>In Non-Bailable Offences, bail is available only with the permission of the High Court.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bail is not automatically granted in non-bailable offences, and is subject to the discretion of the court.
