About this template

What is this template?

This is a formal court filing used to request the release of a person currently in custody. It is not an anticipatory bail application, but a request for regular bail. The document contains specific undertakings regarding non-tampering of evidence and staying within the country.

When should you use it?

Use this when a person has already been arrested and is in custody, and you need to apply to the Sessions Court for release. If the person has not yet been arrested, use an Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 CrPC instead.
