About this template
What is this template?
This is a criminal court filing used in India to prevent the immediate arrest of a person accused of non-bailable offenses under the Electricity Act. It is a procedural document submitted to a Court of Session or a High Court, containing an affidavit and a prayer for relief. It is not a standard bail application for someone already in custody.
When should you use it?
Use this document when there is a reasonable apprehension of arrest for an offense related to electricity theft in India. If the individual has already been arrested, use a Regular Bail Application under Section 437 or 439 of the CrPC instead.
What's inside
