Criminal Law

Bail

A Bail means the security, which court requires for release, of an accused. The Bail philosophy is to release the accused from the custody of law enforcing agencies into the custody of sureties. It is, in fact, transfer of accused from judicial custody to sureties with this condition that sureties will remain bound for future appearance of the accused in court whenever accused appearance will be required. This is an interim order which can be withdrawn by the court at any stage according to the circumstances. The relevant provisions of Bail are sections 496, 497 and 498 Criminal Procedure Code, 1989.

Criminal Pre-Arrest Bail/Bail Before Arrest

This provision allows a person to seek bail in anticipation of an arrest on accusation of having committed a bailable or non-bailable offence. The Anticipatory bail is a direction to release a person on bail, issued even before the person is arrested. If any person apprehends that there is a move to get him arrested on false or trump up charges, or due to enmity with someone, or he fears that a fake or false case is likely to be filed against him, he has right to move the court of sessions, the High Court or another court of competent jurisdiction under the code of criminal procedure can grant bail before arrest, in a case where court feels perhaps accused has falsely involved in case and he is likely to suffer irreparable injury to his dignity, honor, or reputation by his arrest.

Trial of the Case

A court trial, also called a bench trial or a jury trial, is when all the facts of a case are heard, and a judge or jury makes the final decision about the court case. An offender can waive his rights to a jury trial and just have the judge make the ruling in a bench trial. At the trial, both sides will give their opening statements. The opening statements will state why the state feels the offender is guilty and why the offender feels they are innocent. After the opening statements, the evidence will be presented and witnesses can be called and asked questions. Each party can then give rebuttals to the evidence or the witness statements.

Once the rebuttals are done, both sides give their closing statements. The judge or the jury then takes all the information presented and makes a ruling. The judge or jury gives its ruling (or verdict), the judge will sentence the offender. During each part of the court process, there are rules that need to be followed during a court trial.
