Bail kya hota hai aur kaise milti hai?

Simple answer

Bail matlab is promise (bond) par custody se release ki bulane par aap aaoge, kabhi-kabhi surety (zamanatdar) ke saath. Bailable offence mein bail aapka haq hai. Non-bailable offence mein bail automatic nahi; usually court case ki seriousness dekh kar decide karta hai.

Real-life examples

Gurpreet ko rash driving ke case mein arrest kiya gaya, jo bailable offence hai. Thane mein usne bail bond bhara, uska cousin surety bana, aur wo usi din ghar chala gaya.

Rahul ko chori ke case mein arrest kiya gaya, jo non-bailable offence hai. Magistrate ne bail nahi di. Phir lawyer ne Sessions Court mein application di, jisne har hearing par aane jaisi conditions par bail de di.

Daily-wage worker Lakshmi ko bailable case mein bail mili, par ek hafte se zyada tak koi surety nahi mila. Aise mein kanoon maan leta hai ki wo garib hai, isliye use bina surety, apne bond par chhoda jaana chahiye.

Aapko kya karna chahiye?

1Pata karo offence bailable hai ya nahi. FIR ke sections dekho ya lawyer se poochho.
2Bailable offence mein thane mein hi bail maango, aur kaha jaaye toh surety ka intezaam karo.
3Non-bailable offence mein Magistrate ke paas bail application do. Mana ho jaaye toh Sessions Court ya High Court mein apply karo.
4Apna aur surety ka ID aur address proof saath rakho. Bail ki har condition maano aur har date par court jao.
5Agar police 60 din (bahut serious offences mein 90 din) mein investigation poori na kare, toh lawyer se default bail ke baare mein poochho.

Exceptions aur zaroori baatein

Agar maanne ka solid aadhaar ho ki aapne maut ya umarqaid ki saza wala offence kiya hai, toh Magistrate usually bail nahi de sakta; par women, bachchon aur bimaar ya kamzor logon ko chhoot mil sakti hai.
Drugs ya terrorism jaise special laws mein bail ki conditions zyada strict hain.
Bail conditions todne ya court date miss karne par bail cancel ho sakti hai aur dobara arrest ho sakta hai.
