Common questions
How quickly must an arrested person be produced in court?
Within 24 hours of arrest, not counting travel time, before the nearest Magistrate. This is required by section 61 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and Article 33 of the Constitution. Family members should find out which police station holds the person and which court they will be taken to.
What is anticipatory bail?
Bail granted before arrest, usually by the High Court Division or the Sessions Judge under section 498 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It is sought when a case has been filed or is threatened and there is a real risk of arrest. The court sets a period and conditions, and the accused must then surrender before the trial court.
Which offences are bailable?
The Second Schedule to the Code of Criminal Procedure marks each Penal Code offence as bailable or non-bailable. For a bailable offence bail is a right; for a non-bailable offence it is at the court's discretion. Special laws such as the Nari-o-Shishu and Narcotics Acts have their own, stricter bail rules.
Can a criminal case be settled by compromise?
Only if the offence is compoundable under section 345 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, such as simple hurt or criminal breach of trust in some forms, sometimes with the court's permission. Serious offences cannot be compromised, even if the complainant wants to withdraw.
What is the difference between a GD, an FIR and a complaint case?
A GD records information at the police station. An FIR under section 154 starts a police investigation of a cognizable offence. A complaint case is filed directly before a Magistrate under section 200, who examines the complainant and may send it for inquiry or issue process.
