Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between regular bail and anticipatory bail?
Regular bail is applied for after a person has been arrested. Anticipatory bail, under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, is a pre-arrest remedy — it may be sought when a person has reason to believe they may be arrested for a non-bailable offence. Anticipatory bail is granted by the Sessions Court or the High Court and, if granted, directs that the applicant be released on bail in the event of arrest.
Can bail be cancelled after it has been granted?
Yes. Bail may be cancelled by the court that granted it, or by a superior court, if the accused misuses the liberty granted — for example, by tampering with evidence, threatening witnesses, absconding, or committing a fresh offence. The prosecution or the complainant may file an application for cancellation of bail on such grounds.
What should I do if I receive a notice from the police?
A notice under Section 35 BNSS (formerly Section 41A CrPC) requires you to appear before the police for questioning. You are not under arrest when you appear pursuant to such a notice. It is advisable to consult a lawyer before responding to the notice or appearing before the police, so that you understand your rights and the nature of the inquiry.
What is an FIR and can it be quashed?
A First Information Report (FIR) is the document that sets the criminal law in motion. It is registered by the police upon receipt of information about a cognisable offence. An FIR may be challenged before the High Court under Section 528 BNSS (formerly Section 482 CrPC) if it is found to be frivolous, vexatious, or an abuse of the process of law, or if the allegations, even if taken at face value, do not disclose any offence.
What are the bail conditions under the NDPS Act?
Section 37 of the NDPS Act imposes stringent conditions on the grant of bail for offences involving commercial quantities. The court must be satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the accused is not guilty of the alleged offence and that the accused is not likely to commit any offence while on bail. These conditions are in addition to the general bail provisions and make bail significantly more difficult to obtain in commercial quantity NDPS cases.
What are the grounds for divorce under the Hindu Marriage Act?
Under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, either spouse may petition for divorce on grounds including adultery, cruelty, desertion for a continuous period of not less than two years, conversion to another religion, unsoundness of mind, virulent and incurable leprosy, venereal disease in a communicable form, renunciation of the world, and not being heard of as alive for seven years. Divorce by mutual consent is also available under Section 13B of the Act.
What is the time limit for filing a cheque bounce complaint?
A complaint under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act must be filed within 30 days of the cause of action arising. The cause of action arises when the payee's notice demanding payment is not complied with within 15 days of its receipt by the drawer. The notice itself must be sent within 30 days of the dishonour of the cheque. Strict compliance with these timelines is essential for the complaint to be maintainable.
What is the difference between a civil matter and a criminal matter?
A criminal matter involves an offence against the State or society, prosecuted by the State, and may result in imprisonment, fine, or both. A civil matter involves a dispute between private parties — typically over property, contracts, family rights, or compensation — and the remedy is usually monetary compensation or a specific order of the court. Some disputes, such as cheque dishonour or domestic violence, have both civil and criminal dimensions.
