Bail sections in Criminal Procedure Code(CrPC)

 

The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) is the legislation that governs the criminal justice system in India. The CrPC provides for a system of bail for accused persons who are arrested and charged with a crime. Bail is the release of an accused person from custody while their trial is pending.

The CrPC divides the provisions of bail into three sections:

Bail under Section 436: This section provides for the grant of bail to an accused person who is arrested for a bailable offence. A bailable offence is an offence for which the accused can be released on bail as a matter of right. If the offence is bailable, the accused person can be released on bail by the police officer who arrested them or by the court. The accused person may have to furnish a bond or surety as a guarantee that they will appear for their trial.

Bail under Section 437: This section deals with the grant of bail to a person who is arrested for a non-bailable offence. A non-bailable offence is an offence for which the accused person cannot be released on bail as a matter of right. The court has the discretion to grant bail to the accused person. The court may grant bail if it is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the accused person is not guilty of the offence and will not commit any offence while on bail. The court may impose certain conditions while granting bail, such as the accused person surrendering their passport or not leaving the jurisdiction of the court without permission.

Bail under Section 439: This section provides for the grant of bail to a person who is in custody pending trial or appeal. The court may grant bail if it is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the accused person is not guilty of the offence and that they will not flee from justice. The court may impose certain conditions while granting bail, such as the accused person reporting to the police station at regular intervals or not contacting the witnesses in the case.

In addition to these provisions, the CrPC also provides for anticipatory bail, which is bail granted to a person who apprehends arrest for a non-bailable offence. Anticipatory bail is granted under Section 438 of the CrPC.

My Investments and Returns: April 2024 - March 2025

  My Investments and Returns: April 2024 - March 2025 The Ground Rules Alright, folks, I’ve borrowed some of Warren Buffett’s genius ground rules from his famous letters—like borrowing your rich uncle’s best suit! I’m serving his wisdom with a sprinkle of my own goofy charm. Why? Because if you’re going to copy, go for the guy who buys companies like I buy snacks! Get ready for simple, Buffett-style tips that’ll make you feel like a money wizard—or at least fool your friends into thinking you are. Joke’s on them when you start sounding smarter than a stock market squirrel! Let’s roll! When we talk about yearly gains or losses, we mean market values—how our assets are valued at year-end compared to the start of the year. This may have little to do with realized results for tax purposes in a given year. Whether we do a good or poor job isn’t measured by whether we’re up or down for the year. Instead, it’s measured against the general performance of securities, like the S&P BSE Se...

Stock Market Amid Indo-Pak Tension

  Stock Market Amid Indo-Pak Tension On April 22, 2025, a devastating terrorist attack struck the Pahalgam region of India, claiming 26 lives. The brutality of the assault, where attackers interrogated victims about their religion—demanding Hindu or Muslim identification, forcing men to disrobe for verification, or compelling them to recite the Kalma—shocked the nation. Failure to comply resulted in execution in front of families. This heinous act not only broke the nation's heart but also fueled widespread anger, as it was clearly designed to sow hatred between communities. Such attacks demand a resolute response. I believe India must take decisive and robust measures to send an unequivocal message to perpetrators: India is a strong, modern nation that will leave no stone unturned to protect its citizens. By demonstrating unwavering resolve, India can deter future acts of terror and reaffirm its commitment to national security. How to Invest in War-Like Situations War-like situati...
