Box-13
While considering bail for a non-bailable offence, the court shall:
1.
Ensure that the factors to be taken into
account are: the chances of accused
absconding from trial; his tempering with the
evidence or likelihood of extending threats
or alluring the witnesses and the gravity of
the offence.
S.437(2) Cr.P.C
2.
Ensure that, in a case of arrest for accusation
or suspicion for the commission of a non
bailable offence, if an application for bail is
moved on behalf of the accused, the court
by considering the facts of the case, pass a
bail order if it is found that there are no
grounds for his further detention as no
further investigation is required for enquiry
into his guilt.
S.437(6)
3.
Ensure that in a case triable by a Magistrate,
the trial of a person, accused of any non
bailable offence is not concluded within a
period of 60 days from the first date for taking
evidence in the case, such person shall, if he
is in the custody during the whole of the
said period, be released on bail to the
satisfaction of the Magistrate, but where he
decides to direct otherwise, reasons must
be recorded in writing.
S.437(1)
4.
Ensure that previous convictions, criminal
record of the accused, and likelihood of
commission of the offence, are taken into
account while considering the bail to such
an accused.
