This document summarizes the differences between bailable and non-bailable offenses. Bailable offenses are those punishable by less than 3 years in prison. The accused has the right to bail, which is granted by the court or police. Non-bailable offenses involve more serious crimes like murder, rape, and kidnapping that are punishable by more than 3 years including life imprisonment. For non-bailable offenses, bail is not a right and is at the court's discretion based on factors like flight risk.
