What is Bail?

Bail is a legal proceeding where a person who has been arrested can be released from arrest by furnishing a surety or bond to appear in court whenever required. It ensures the accused person is free during trial time.

Types of Bail in India
As per Indian law, there are largely three forms of bail:

• Regular Bail
• Released to someone who is already under arrest.
• Applicable in both bailable and non-bailable offenses.
• Anticipatory Bail

Granted before arrest, when one apprehends that they will be arrested.

Step 1: Know the Nature of the Offence

• Bailable Offence: Police are obligated to grant bail if requested.
• Non-Bailable Offence: The Bail is left to the Magistrate or Sessions Court.
• Your lawyer will advise if this needs to be done based on the FIR and charges.

Step 2: File an application for Bail
