UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES A PERSON CAN BE GRANTED BAIL
One must move strategically with utmost caution and take steps keeping in mind whether an offense is a bailable offense or a non-bailable offense.
Getting a bail can be a tedious task when it comes to offenses such as Forgery, Murder, Rape, Dowry Death, kidnapping, criminal breach of trust, causing grievous hurt, attempt to murder, or half murder.
In case you apprehend an arrest for the cases cited above, immediately contact a good criminal lawyer, and apply for anticipatory bail. In cases where anticipatory bail can’t be granted, ask your criminal lawyer to seek interim protection. This shall help you seek bail in the future.
You always have an option to go for an Appeal in the High Court in case your bail is rejected by the lower court. To avoid any such situation, it is always better to seek guidance from the best criminal lawyer from the beginning itself.
Types of Bail
1. Anticipatory Bail
An Anticipatory bail is filed u/s 438 of CrPC. It is commonly known as pre-arrest bail. A person who is apprehending arrest, can file and seek the same from the Court of law.
2. Regular Bail
A regular bail is applied before the Sessions Court or the High Court. One can apply for a regular bail only after the arrest is made.
RIGHTS OF AN ARRESTED PERSON IN CASE OF A CRIMINAL CASE

2. The Right not to be detained for more than 24 hours without judicial scrutiny.
