Frequently asked questions
Do I need to appear in court for pre-arrest bail?
Yes. Pre-arrest bail requires the personal appearance of the accused before the court, at filing and on the hearing dates until the bail is confirmed.
Which court should I approach first?
As a rule of practice, a bail petition is first filed before the Sessions Court. The High Court is approached after refusal there, or directly only in exceptional circumstances.
