There are several types of bail, each with specific circumstances and procedures.
Regular Bail:
This is the most common type of bail, granted after an arrest under Section 437 and 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). It's available for both bailable and non-bailable offenses.
Interim Bail:
This is a temporary bail granted while waiting for a decision on regular or anticipatory bail.
Anticipatory Bail:
This is a bail sought before arrest, under Section 438 of the CrPC, when an individual fears arrest for a non-bailable offense.
Default Bail:
This is a right to bail if the police fail to file a chargesheet or complaint within a specific period (60 or 90 days, depending on the severity of the offense).
Statutory Bail:
This is a bail granted under Section 167 of the CrPC when the investigation cannot be completed within a specified time, and the accused is entitled to bail.
Post-Conviction Bail:
This bail can be granted to a convicted person who files an appeal against the judgment.
