Bail Law & Procedure

Bail Law & Procedure provides a concise yet comprehensive treatment of bail practice tailored for immediate courtroom use. The book begins with the statutory architecture—provisions in the Code of Criminal Procedure and constitutional safeguards—then walks through types of bail: anticipatory, interim and regular bail, as well as cancellation and modification. Each chapter pairs legal tests (reasonable apprehension of arrest, prima facie case, gravity of offence, custodial needs, flight risk, danger to society) with leading Supreme Court and High Court authorities that illustrate application. Practical sections include step-by-step hearing strategies, model petitions and oppositions, sample surety and bond formats, checklists for remand-vs-bail arguments, and drafting tips to limit onerous conditions. The title also covers tactical issues—when to seek anticipatory vs. regular bail, framing effective conditions, managing surrender & arrest, bail in economic/NDPS/corruption cases, and appellate remedies against refusal or cancellation. Compact annexures provide flowcharts for bail timelines, sample orders for common scenarios and a quick-reference case-law table. Updated with contemporary jurisprudence and procedure, this book shortens preparation time, improves advocacy at bail hearings, and is an indispensable desk reference for lawyers, prosecutors and judicial officers.
