Frequently Asked Questions
Anticipatory bail under Section 482 BNSS (formerly Section 438 CrPC) protects a person from arrest when there is a reasonable apprehension of being arrested for a non-bailable offence. It should be applied for immediately upon receiving notice from police or when there is credible information about an impending arrest. Time is critical — contact a lawyer immediately.
In a bailable offence, bail is a matter of right and the police or Magistrate must grant it. In a non-bailable offence, bail is not automatic — the accused must apply before a Sessions Court or High Court (for serious offences) and the court has discretion to grant or refuse bail based on multiple factors including flight risk, nature of offence, and criminal antecedents.
Default bail (also called statutory bail) arises under Section 479 BNSS when police fails to file a chargesheet within the prescribed period — 60 days for offences punishable with less than 10 years imprisonment, and 90 days for offences punishable with 10 years or more. If the accused applies for bail at this stage, it must be granted.
Yes. Bail can be cancelled by the court that granted it or a higher court if the accused misuses the bail conditions, tampers with evidence, threatens witnesses, absconds, or is re-arrested in another case. Prosecution or complainant can apply for cancellation of bail.
