Bailed Out! Precept & Practice of Bail Jurisprudence offers a comprehensive and assertive exploration of law of bail—an area of law that shapes the balance between liberty and justice. The book is based on the principle that “bail is the rule, jail is the exception”. It connects this principle to the fundamental rights of life and liberty, rooted in the presumption of innocence, which states that an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty.
The book traces its journey from the debates of the Constituent Assembly to the pressing challenges of today. It provides detailed insights into critical areas such as the principles of arrest and remand, the complexities of anticipatory bail, and the unique considerations for bail in economic offences, including those under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. Additionally, it courageously addresses the “Psychology and Trauma of the Jailed,” advocating for systemic changes rather than superficial legal reforms to tackle the dilemmas within bail jurisprudence effectively.
It is an indispensable resource for law students, practitioners, policy makers, and anyone concerned with the protection of personal liberty in a just society.
