About this template

What is this template?

This is a compilation of procedural motions and initiatory pleadings used in Indian criminal litigation. It contains specific templates for regular bail under Section 437 and 439, anticipatory bail under Section 438, and a detailed surety affidavit. It is not a civil suit or a legal advice memorandum.

When should you use it?

Use these forms when appearing before a Metropolitan Magistrate or Sessions Judge in New Delhi for criminal matters. If the matter is civil in nature, use a Plaint or Written Statement instead of these criminal complaint and bail formats.
