The document discusses bail and anticipatory bail under Indian law. There are three main forms of bail - regular bail, interim bail, and anticipatory bail. Anticipatory bail allows someone who anticipates future arrest protection from arrest. It can only be granted by the High Court or Sessions Court. Regular bail is granted after arrest. The criteria for bail differs based on whether the offense is bailable or non-bailable. Bail and anticipatory bail protect the rights of the accused by allowing pre-trial release from custody unless proven guilty.
