The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) lays down the provisions regarding bail and anticipatory bail in India. These provisions give an accused or a suspect the right to seek release from custody during the pendency of the trial. The following are the key provisions pertaining to bail and anticipatory bail in CrPC:

Section 437: This provision deals with the power of a magistrate to grant bail to a person arrested for a non-bailable offense. The court may grant bail if the accused furnishes a bail bond with sureties, as the court thinks fit, and also imposes certain conditions on the accused.
Section 438: This provision deals with the power of a court to grant anticipatory bail to a person who apprehends arrest in a non-bailable offense. A person seeking anticipatory bail may apply to the High Court or the Court of Session, and the court may grant bail with or without conditions.
Section 439: This provision deals with the power of a court to grant bail to a person arrested for a bailable or non-bailable offence. The court may grant bail if the accused furnishes a bail bond, and the court may also impose conditions on the accused.

It is important to note that the provisions regarding bail and anticipatory bail are discretionary, and the court may consider several factors such as the gravity of the offense, the likelihood of the accused absconding or tampering with evidence, and the likelihood of the accused interfering with witnesses before granting bail or anticipatory bail.

The Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) lays down the provisions regarding post-conviction, and pre-appeal bail under section 389 Cr. P.C, bail during revision under Section 397 Cr. P.C, and many others. Our lawyers have extensive experience in conducting legal research and building strong arguments to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients.
