__________________ Signature However, the format for a bail application depends upon the nature of
offence and circumstances under which an accused person seeks the grant of bail. Under Section
436 any person, other than a person accused of a non-bailable offence, is arrested or detained
without warrant by an officer in charge of a police station, or appears or is brought before the court
and is prepared to give bail, such person shall be released on bail as a matter of right. Under this
section the court cannot exercise any discretion in granting bail. Under Section 437 a court (other
than a High Court or a Court of Sessions) or a police officer possesses the power to release an
accused on bail in a non-bailable case, unless there appear reasonable grounds that the accused
has been guilty of an offence punishable with death or with imprisonment for life. Under Section
438 any person who apprehends or has reason to believe that he/she is likely to be arrested on false
or trumped up charges, due to enmity with someone, or in connection with a false case lodged or
likely to be lodged against him, may approach a Court of Sessions or High Court for grant of bail in
the event of his arrest, and the court may, if it thinks fit, direct that in the event of such arrest, he
shall be released on Anticipatory bail. Under Section 439 a High Court or a Court of Sessions
possesses special powers to direct the release on bail of an accused person. These special powers
are entirely discretionary and also apply to the discretionary power of a High Court or Court of
Sessions to cancel the bail of an accused person.
