Sec. 326 ipc

Yesterday my client who is charged under section 326 IPC (non-bailable offence) was taken in a police remand (police custody) that would last till 13th February. My question is- in such circumstances as a lawyer what should be my first move? shall i apply for BAIL before he gets JUDICIAL CUSTODY? If yes then where should i move for BAIL? To the MM FIRST CLASS or SESSIOS COURT? Kindly help me to rest my confusion.

Thank You :-)

Thank You Sir. Can i move quickly for the BAIL? or do i need to wait till he grant JC ? Yesterday, one lawyer gave me a weird suggestion to wait till the accused is granted Judicial Custody by the Court. What do u think ? can i move my BAIL APPLICATION as soon as possible?

Bail application can be moved to megistrate any time after a person is arrested.

It should have been moved yesterday itself, when he was produced before megistrate for the first time within 24 hours of his arrest.

Now move it on 13th else judicial custody may be granted.

Kavitha ji,

First study nad not read the provision. Had you read 437 CR.P.C., you would not have asked this question at all. Custody may either police or judcial. Whenever a person is arrested and his liberty is thus curtialed, and he gets inherent right to seek bail even in non bailable offence. If the accused was produced in home office of the magistrate and police custody is obtained, you could have moved bail application before the court which granted custody. If he aws produced in court seeking for police custody, you could have filed memo of appearance for him , moved for bail.

At least now, gear up with bail petition.
