i) as regards first part of your question please go through section 436-A of the CrPC.
2) there is no seperate section for grounds of bail such as old age or any other ground.

If the accused is convicted and he is already in custody for term which is more than term of sentence, then the court will set up the period and will release the accused.

If a person under trial is in custody for a period greater than the term of punishment then the Court shall set off the period and set him free.
There is no separate section in CrPC for old person in relation to bail.
