The law of bail plays a very important role in the
administration of criminal justice. It secures the liberty of a
person and enforces the presumption of innocence which is
fundamental in the administration of justice.
Law of Bail: Practice and Procedure by Asim Pandya has been
conceptualized as a handy reference work to cater to the
needs of lawyers and judges in day to day court practice.
For the convenience of readers, the book is divided into three
parts. Part I of the book, thematically divided into nine
chapters, explains the fundamental concepts pertaining to
bail as well as the intricate issues connected with the
administration of bail jurisdiction. All issues relating to bail
that frequently arise in courts are discussed in detail. Part II
provides the full text of twenty frequently cited Supreme
Court decisions relating to the law of bail along with headnotes.
Part III of the book carries the bare text of the Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1973 for ready reference.
