Ensure that an arrestee for a bailable offence, who is arrested and detained without a warrant, may be released on bail as a matter of right. 2. Ensure that the arrestee is released on bail, as soon as he/she furnishes personal cum-surety bond of the required amount. S.436(1) Prov. 3. Ensure that where the arrestee is an indigent person to the satisfaction of the Court and is unable to furnish surety, instead of taking bail, such person is released on executing a personal bond without sureties for his appearance later. S.436(1) 4. Ensure that, where an arrestee of a bailable offence is unable to furnish surely within a week of his application for bail, the court may presume that he is an indigent person. 5. Ensure that, the arrestee is informed by the Court at the first instance about his right to bail. 7. Ensure that the arrestee is not required to furnish surety for unreasonable and excessive amount, so that the economic standing of the arrestee does not impede his right to bail. 21
