Bail – Law and Procedure

Indian Criminal Justice System lays its foundation on the notion of fair trial and provisions of justice. The avoidance of any delay in investigation as well as trials which may adversely affect the society and its individuals has been the primary objective underlying the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and now the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanita (BNSS).
The Indian criminal justice system is focused on safeguarding the people from abuse of power by the judiciary and the prosecution, providing procedural protections, guaranteeing rights to the accused and ensuring fairness and justice to the lower and less able sections of the society.

This Second Edition book on the Law of Bails, has been designed, keeping in mind the principles of fairness and justice and seeks to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding on the procedure relating to bail under the Indian criminal Law. This book covers aspects of bail along with FIR and Arrests for the fact that bail and relating laws have no existence of their own in the absence of FIR and arrest. Each chapter of the book comprises of statutory provisions with explanation and notes followed by relevant case laws. It also encloses brief conclusions with references to provide precise inferences for the readers. The latest cases (between 2021 – 2024) have been given due significance and have been rightly placed to be duly noted by the reader for their research and study.
