How it works

  1. Immediate assessmentTell us the section numbers on the FIR or notice and the police station. That alone tells an advocate how urgent the matter is and whether the offence is bailable.
  2. FilingAnticipatory bail is filed before Sessions or the High Court. Regular bail is filed before the court in whose jurisdiction the matter lies.
  3. AppearanceThe advocate appears on the listed date, argues, and briefs you on the order the same day.
  4. ComplianceBail almost always comes with conditions — surety, passport surrender, appearance dates. Missing one can get bail cancelled.

Common questions

Can I get anticipatory bail after an FIR is registered?

Yes. Anticipatory bail can be sought at any point before arrest, including after an FIR has been registered. What it cannot be sought after is the arrest itself, at which stage the application becomes one for regular bail.

How quickly can a bail application be listed in Delhi?

Urgent bail applications are ordinarily listed within a few working days, and courts do take up genuinely urgent matters faster. The timeline depends on the court, the offence and whether the investigating agency seeks time to reply.

Do I have to appear in court personally?

For bail matters your presence is often required, particularly at the stage of furnishing surety. Your advocate will tell you exactly which dates need you and which do not.

What does it cost?

Fees depend on the offence, the forum and the stage. We give you a figure before any work starts, not after.
