Bail and criminal defence,
with the clock on your side

A bail practice is a deadline practice. Custody periods run whether or not anyone is watching, listings move, and the difference between an application that works and one that does not is often a date somebody failed to diarise. AdvocatePro treats the calendar as the case.

What it applies

The law this practice runs on

AdvocatePro reads a bail & criminal defence matter against the provisions that actually decide it.

  • Sections 437, 438 and 439 CrPC and their BNSS equivalents
  • Section 167(2) CrPC — default bail on expiry of 60 or 90 days
  • Special statutes carrying twin conditions — PMLA, NDPS, UAPA
What it checks

Before the matter gets away from you

Gravity and classification

Whether the offence is bailable or non-bailable, the maximum punishment it carries, and whether a special statute imposes twin conditions that change the test entirely.

Procedural history

Whether the charge sheet was filed inside the 60 or 90 day window, what previous bail applications were rejected and on what reasoning, and whether the court has jurisdiction at all.

The evidentiary record

Contradictions in the FIR, delay in its registration, absence of independent witnesses, and confessional statements to police that cannot stand on their own.

Bail & Criminal Defence

Custody timeline per accused

Remand dates, extensions and the running count toward default bail, held against the matter instead of in somebody’s diary.

Bail & Criminal Defence

Adversarial reading of your own application

Before you file, the platform argues the prosecution’s side of your matter — flight risk, tampering, influence over witnesses — so you meet it in the drafting rather than across the bar.
