Getting bail is often the most urgent step when a person is arrested or fears arrest. Here is what you need to know.
Regular Bail — Section 437/439 CrPC
After arrest, the accused may apply for bail before the Magistrate (S.437) or Sessions Court (S.439). The court considers the nature of offence, criminal antecedents, and likelihood of fleeing.
Anticipatory Bail — Section 438 CrPC
If a person apprehends arrest, they may approach the Sessions Court or High Court for a pre-arrest bail order.
Key Factors Courts Consider
Seriousness of the offence, prior criminal record, flight risk, and whether the accused will tamper with evidence.
