    Regular or anticipatory — the right section for each

    Regular bail

    Section 480 BNSS, or Section 483 BNSS when you apply to the Court of Session or the High Court (formerly Sections 437 and 439 CrPC). The governing section is stated in both the cause title and the body.

    Anticipatory bail

    Section 482 BNSS (formerly Section 438 CrPC). If the offence falls under Section 65 or Section 70(2) BNS, the draft says so at the top — Section 482(4) BNSS bars anticipatory bail for those offences — and points to regular bail instead of arguing around the bar.

    What it does

    • Fill in the applicant, the FIR (number, police station, date), the offence sections, the court, the facts and days in custody.
    • For an FIR dated before 1 July 2024, the application is framed under the CrPC with the matching BNSS section noted on first mention.
    • Every application states whether an earlier application for the same relief was filed; if you don't say, it is marked [TO BE CONFIRMED] rather than left out.
    • Every statute section and case citation is checked against LegalInk's verified index before you see it — marked verified, ungrounded or flagged, never silently invented.
