About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal court filing used to request bail for an accused person in a non-bailable offence case before a Magistrate. It is not an anticipatory bail application or a high court petition. It contains specific sections for explaining the reasons for non-appearance and a declaration of the applicant's status as the sole breadwinner for dependent parents.
When should you use it?
Use this document when an accused person is in custody and needs to apply for bail under the Code of Criminal Procedure in India. If the accused has not yet been arrested but fears arrest, use an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 CrPC instead.
Who it's for
- an accused person in India seeking release from custody during a pending trial
- a petitioner explaining non-appearance in court that resulted in Non-Bailable Warrants
- a family member acting as a next friend for an applicant in police custody
