Box-11
While granting bail for a bailable offence, the judicial authorities shall:
S.436(1) Cr.P.C.
1.
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.
