The notion of fair trial and justice for each accused, the avoidance of any delay in trial and investigation that may adversely affect at the societal as well as individual level and ensuring fairness and justice to the lower and less able sections of the society have been the primary objectives underlying the Indian Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. The criminal justice system also focuses on safeguarding from the abuse of power by the judiciary and the prosecution, providing procedural protections, guaranteeing rights to the accused. This book on the Law of Bails, has been designed, keeping in mind the same principles of justice and attempts to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding on the procedure for bail under the Indian criminal Law. At a primary stage in this work, the book was discussed to be named 'FIR, Arrest and Bail', however, the fact that bail and relating laws have no existence of their own in the absence of FIR and arrest, led to the book being recalled as 'Law of Bails', encompassing both, the concept of FIR as well as arrest. Each chapter of the book comprises of statutory provisions with explanation and notes followed by relevant case laws. It also encloses brief conclusions with references to provide precise inferences for the readers. 

A bail should be taken to mean release of a person from legal custody and conceptually it is understood as a right of assertion of freedom against the state-imposed restraints. It has found a place and scope under the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, 1948. The word bail is derived from an old word 'Baylor' which means to give or to deliver, while another view is that its derivation from the Latin term bearer that signifies to 'bear a burden'. The Wharton's law lexicon defines 'bail/, as 'to set at liberty a person arrested or imprisoned on security being taken for his appearances'. The term 'bail' like 'FIR' has not been defined under the Cr.P.C., 1973.
