How Bail Works In India
In India a person released on bail signs a bond for a sum the police or court thinks is enough. A bail bond means release with one or more sureties, and a personal bond means release without a surety. The amount must not be excessive, and a court may let the person deposit money or government promissory notes instead of the bond.
