Jail Visits- How to apply for a bail - Bail Application Format

Many law colleges arrange Jail Visits for students, where students can interact with inmates and prepare various types of bail applications for them.
If a college is arranging for a jail visit in India, the students are allowed to prepare four Types of Bail Applications:
  1. Cash bail: When a bail has been set and the inmate is ready to pay the amount
  2. Cash reduction: When the bail amount cannot be paid and the inmate wishes that the amount be reduced.
  3. Deportation: When the inmate has entered the country illegally and does not possess a passport, the deportation application is made in order for her/his transfer.
  4. Personal bond: Also known as "release on recognizance bond," is a promise to appear in court on all future court dates related to an inmate’s case as well as a promise of good behavior if the court allows you to remain free. However, the inmate must deposit a certain amount as surety which will be forfeited in the case of default of the two conditions. In order to apply for a personal bond the inmate must be a resident of the same city as the jail.

Requirements: The most important detail that is required is the U.T. No. (Under trail number) which can be found on the U.T. card carried by any inmate who is still under trial. With that number the inmate’s other details such as name, age, date of arrest, police station in which complaint was made, section under which the inmate is charged, etc. can be found in the records maintained in the jail’s judicial department. However the detailed facts of the case should be taken from the inmate personally. If it is the inmates first offence then mention that in the application for bail, it gives him/her an added advantage.

For students: The first thing you need to ask is whether the inmate already has a lawyer, if yes, then move to the next inmate.
Secondly, you can only apply for petty offences e.g. theft, violation of laws in the R.P. Act.
Third, identify what it is that the inmate wants. Many students do not understand which type of bail application is to be filed among the four.
Secondly, only ask the inmate necessary questions. Don't get personal. Always maintain a certain level of professionalism. And try not to get fascinated by their amazing stories.

How to apply for bail: Most law students do not know how to apply for a bail in India. Some colleges only give out the format of application for bail (which is almost same in all states of India).
