About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal court petition used to request the release of a prisoner pending trial. It is not an anticipatory bail application and it is not a bail bond. It contains specific sections for the Case Number, the sections of the IPC involved, and a formal verification section signed before a Notary or Magistrate.
When should you use it?
Use this when an individual has been arrested for a non-bailable offence and needs to apply for release through a Magistrate's court. Use an Anticipatory Bail Application instead if the arrest has not yet occurred but is feared.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grounds for Bail | States the petitioner was not named in the First Information Report and was not identified by house inmates during the identification parade. |
| 2 | Search Results | Confirms that the police found nothing incriminating during the search of the house belonging to the petitioner. |
| 3 | Flight Risk | Asserts the petitioner is a family man who cannot run away to avoid trial. |
| 4 | Detention Duration | Argues for release because there is no legal ground for continued detention as the trial will not finish in the near future. |
Who it's for
- an accused person in India seeking release from custody for a non-bailable offence like burglary
