After Arrest Bail

A bail can be granted to the accused person, after his arrest, both in bailable and non-bailable offence. When the accused has been arrested by a law enforcing agency and the court feels that there is no need of detention of the person in jail and he is likely to suffer irreparable injury to his dignity, honor, or reputation by his arrest. The concerned trial court grants Post Arrest Bail after fulfilling the following conditions:

1. That the person shall make himself available for interrogation by the police officer as and when required;
2. That the person shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer;
3. That the person shall not leave the country without prior permission of the court.
4. That the person submits the surety bonds for the satisfaction of the court till the final disposal of the case.

i. Prohibitory Clause

According to Section 497 of the Criminal Procedure Code, a post-arrest bail cannot be granted when there exist reasonable grounds for believing that the accused has been guilty of that offence, which is punishable with death or imprisonment for life or imprisonment for ten years.
