Bail Applications

Bail Applications are filed seeking the release of an accused person from judicial or police custody during the pendency of investigation or trial. Grant of bail is discretionary and may be subject to conditions imposed by the court.

Courts balance the right to personal liberty with the interests of justice, taking into account the nature of the offence, stage of proceedings, and conduct of the accused.
