In bail hearings, the public prosecutor's role is to argue against the release of the accused, presenting evidence and arguments to the court that the accused poses a risk of flight, tampering with evidence, or threatening witnesses if released on bail. They represent the state's interests in ensuring the accused's appearance in court and the proper administration of justice.
The public prosecutor plays the following role in bail hearings:
1. Opposes bail if the offence is serious or if there is risk to society.
2. Presents facts, evidence, and case status to the court.
3. Argues why the accused should not be released.
4. Assists the court in making a fair decision based on law and public interest.
