Explanation

Generally these offences are cognisable as well as non-bailable. The bail can be granted only if the public prosecutor has been given the opportunity to oppose such bail and the court is satisfied that the person is not likely to commit any offence while on bail. The offences are non-compoundable and bailable otherwise.
