Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Consider the following statements.
- The term ‘bail’ has been expressly defined in the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) and also differentiates between “bailable” and “non-bailable” offenses.
- Interim bail is given when an anticipatory bail application is pending before the court.
Which of the above statements is/are incorrect?
Correct
Solution: a)
Black’s Law Dictionary describes ‘bail’ as procuring “the release of a person from legal custody, by undertaking that he shall appear at the time and place designated and submit himself to the jurisdiction and judgment of the court.”
Although “bail” has not been expressly defined in Indian statutes, the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) differentiates between “bailable” and “non-bailable” offenses. It also defines three kinds of bail that can be granted — regular bail under Sections 437 and 439; interim bail or short-term bail which is given when regular or anticipatory bail application is pending before the court; and anticipatory or pre-arrest bail.
The provision for “anticipatory bail” was introduced under Section 438 of the CrPC after the 41st Law Commission Report in 1969 recommended the need for a measure that protects against arbitrary violation of one’s personal liberty, such as when politicians detain their opponents in false cases.
