BAIL : Bail is a kind of property deposition to court so that suspect can be released during trail. Bail can be either Anticipatory bail or Regular bail.
In India granting bail is common but bail may not be offered by some courts under some circumstances, for instance, if the accused is considered likely not to appear for trial regardless of bail. Legislatures may also set out certain crimes to be not bailable, such as capital crimes.

Anticipatory bail (AB) : Indian criminal law under section 438 has provision for for anticipatory bail. Anyone can seek bail in anticipation of an arrest on accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence. AB is a directive to release a person on bail even before the arrested. In simple words AB is bail in advance or before arrest. The applicant must show by facts and events that he believe, he may be arrested for a non-bailable offence. AB is not blanket order, it is specific for a particular offence. And a few conditions can be imposed as per the facts by magistrate.

A few important points about Bail
- SC says AB is valid till the end of trial and there is no need of regular bail.
- AB can be accepted by Session or High Courts.
- Once AB is accepted it is necessary to fill bail bonds.
- Once Charge-sheet is submitted, court can ask for a fresh application to grant Regular bail. That time the best will be convert AB into regular bail otherwise magistrate can send the person into Judicial custody (although SC judgment says AB is valid till the end of trial and there is no need of Regular Bail but practically magistrate ask).
