 Introduction
 Meaning of Bail
 Legal Position in India
 Judicial Trend
 Conclusion

INTRODUCTION

Justice as we know was a right fundamental to all, but it's fallacy is evident, as money now
results in its fall. Objectively analyzed the criminal jurisprudence adopted by India is a mere
reflection of the Victorian legacy left behind by the Britishers. The passage of time has only
seen a few amendments once in a while to satisfy pressure groups and vote banks. Probably
no thought has been given whether these legislations, which have existed for almost seven
decades, have taken into account the plight and the socio-economic conditions of 70% of the
population of this country which lives in utter poverty. India being a poverty stricken
developing country needed anything but a blind copy of the legislations prevalent in
developed western countries.

The concept of bail, which is an integral part of the criminal jurisprudence, also suffers from
the above stated drawbacks. Bail is broadly used to refer to the release of a person charged
with an offence, on his providing a security that will ensure his presence before the court or
any other authority whenever required.
