List of Bailable & Non-Bailable Offences Under Indian Penal

Code
By Nikieta Aggarwal - January 30, 2017  7

    

In the blog post, Anubhav Pandey provides the list of Bailable & Non-Bailable offences under Indian Penal Code.

Bailable offence is one where the defendant (the one who is defending himself in a criminal case) may be able to secure his release
upon the payment of bail. These are the cases where the grant of bail is a matter of course and right.

If a person is held under a non-bailable offence, he cannot claim the grant of bail as a matter of right. But the law gives special
consideration in favor of granting bail where the accused is under sixteen, a woman, sick or inrm, or if the court is satisfied that it is
just and proper for any other special reason to give rather than refuse bail.
