Can I get regular bail under Section 108 of CrPC?
I am from Botad, Gujarat. Can I get regular bail under Section 108 in the District Sessions Court? If yes, how much time does it take after arrest? If no, what should I do next?
Dear Client, thank you for reaching out to us with your query. We are pleased to assist you with the following guidance. No, Section 108 CrPC doesn’t really touch bail at all, because it concerns security for good behaviour from suspected persons, like an assurance sort of thing. so, there is no direct link to bail proceedings. For regular bail the right provisions are Section 437 CrPC, before the Magistrate, in bailable offences, not this. For non-bailable offences, the applicable part is Section 439 CrPC before the Sessions Court. If the Sessions Court rejects your bail application, then you can move it up to the High Court. Also, don’t mix this with “108” like they are similar concepts, they’re not. For more details, please feel free to contact Prime Legal.
Dear Cleint bail is not under Section 108 CrPC, section 108 actually deals with security for good behavior but under Sections 437 and 439; , if the offence is bailable, you can get bail from the Magistrate the same day, and if non-bailable, you must apply before the Sessions Court, which may take a few days, and if rejected, the next remedy is to approach the Gujarat High Court.
Yes, you can get bail from the District Sessions Court under Section 108. Since it’s a preventive section, it is usually handled by giving a bond for good behavior. Bail or release usually takes 1–3 days after arrest. You should hire a criminal lawyer to apply quickly and who will guide you through the case.
