Bail: a matter of right or discretion in the criminal justice system in India

Abstract

In criminal law, bail is also known as the right to liberty. It refers to everyone's right to liberty, which is also a basic right under Articles 19 and 21 of the Indian Constitution. The right to bail allows individuals to continue about their everyday lives by enabling a person accused of a crime to be freed from jail. Despite the fact that there are various requirements for obtaining bail, under criminal law, a person is deemed innocent until proved guilty, and the courts and the constitution have adopted a liberal approach to this privilege. A sort of bail that permits a person to post bail before being arrested if they are charged with a certain offence is known as advance bail provision. The classification of charges as bailable or non-bailable expands this right. In cases of bailable offenses, bail can be requested as a matter of law and is almost never denied; however, in cases of non-bailable offenses, a request for bail can be made in good faith, and the courts' tendency to grant bail in most cases emphasizes the importance of this right in the individual context.

“…La fianza es conceptualizada como la seguridad de la comparecencia de un prisionero para el juicio (Kamber & Markic, 2018). En consecuencia, el efecto de conceder la fianza no es liberar al preso de la cárcel ni de la custodia, sino liberarlo de la custodia de ley y encomendarlo a la custodia de sus fiadores que están como garantes para presentarlo en su juicio en una fecha determinada, tiempo y lugar (Kamoliddin, 2022;Sagar et al, 2022). Por tal razón, el objeto de la fianza es asegurar la comparecencia del acusado en su juicio mediante un rubro económico o bienes.…”
