Quick Answer
Regular bail is granted post-arrest. For bailable offences (Section 480 BNSS), bail is a matter of right. For non-bailable offences (Section 483 BNSS), bail is discretionary and is decided based on factors including nature and gravity of the offence, prima facie evidence, antecedents of the accused, possibility of fleeing, and risk of witness tampering. The Supreme Court in Satender Kumar Antil v. CBI, (2022) 10 SCC 51, laid down comprehensive guidelines for grant of bail to accused persons in different offence categories.
