Non-bailable offences are serious offences where bail is a privilege and only the courts can grant it. On being arrested and taken into custody for a serious or non-bailable crime, a person cannot ask to be released on bail as a matter of right.

In the case of a non-bailable offence the police cannot release anyone on bail and so the arrested person has to make an application for bail before a magistrate or court.

After consideration of factors such as the seriousness of the offence, the chances that the accused will interfere with the investigation by tampering with evidence or threatening witnesses or if the accused is likely to go into hiding or leave the country to escape, the court will decide whether he/she can be allowed to be let out on bail or not. 

If someone is refused bail, he/she can appeal to a higher court.

If the police do not complete their investigation within 60 days for a crime that is not punishable with death or life imprisonment, then the accused gets bail. For offences that are punishable with death or life imprisonment, the investigation must be concluded within 90 days, or the accused will have the right to bail. 

A woman who has been taken into custody has to be kept in a separate lock up in the police station and any examination or body search must be conducted by a woman officer or doctor.

Under the general law, children under the age of 7 years cannot be accused of a crime, hence cannot be taken into police custody. However, the procedure for questioning, apprehension, custody, release and bail of children up to the age of 18 is all governed by the Juvenile Justice Care and Protection of Children Act of 2002.

It states that each police station must have a juvenile police unit with specially trained officers. A child must not be kept in lockup at all, but instead must be immediately handed back to the parents on bail and assurances. If the parents are not available, or it is felt that the child is at risk of falling into bad company then the child must be sent to the local observation home till he/she is brought before the juvenile court. 

It is in the best interests of the police officers themselves to make sure that all procedures relating to women are carefully followed and are recorded meticulously, as by law, if a woman in custody complains of rape it will be accepted unequivocally, unless the police officer can prove without any doubt that it did not take place.
