The procedure for applying for bail varies based on the type: regular bail, anticipatory bail, or interim bail.

1. Drafting Application
A bail application is drafted by a lawyer.
Includes:
- Accused’s details
- FIR number & sections
- Grounds for seeking bail
- Guarantee of cooperation with investigation

2. Filing the Bail Application
Magistrate’s Court: For offences triable by Magistrate (Sec 437).
Sessions Court or High Court: For serious offences or if bail is rejected by Magistrate (Sec 439).

3. Notice to Public Prosecutor
In non-bailable offences, the court issues notice to the prosecution to present their objections.

4. Hearing

5. Conditions Imposed
If granted, bail is subject to conditions:
- Personal bond or surety
- Surrender of passport
- Regular attendance in court

6. Release Order
Court issues a bail bond form.
After execution and verification of sureties (if any), the accused is released from custody.

A bail application procedure typically involves filing a formal request with the court, followed by a hearing where the court considers the application based on various factors. The accused or their lawyer files the application, and if granted, the accused is released from custody upon fulfilling the bail conditions, such as providing surety and executing a bond.
