DISCRETIONARY POWER OF JUDICIARY IN THE MATTER OF BAIL

The term 'bail' refers to a security deposited in order to appear before a judge for release. The word comes from the old French verb "bailer," which means "to give" or "to offer." After presenting a bail bond to the court, an accused is granted bail. The rules for the grant of bail are included in the Criminal Procedure Code, which deals with the procedures surrounding bail in India. The court has been given a lot of discretionary control over the amount of security, which means it can place a monetary limit on the bond.
