Bail whether right or privilege of judge. I would consider a matter of right. client contacted me for bailing out his relative who was declared a proclaimed offender by court. now guess....not a big issue...
arrange for sureties.....surely bail would be granted....
accused was brought before court and as not expected bail was not given.....i presumed since the offender is dodging the court process for long time....hence in its discretion not granting bail...no problem i will file application on next date i.e after 3 days....to our surprise judge went on leave on day fixed for bail.....without informing any of us...for a week.
now what ...no problem i will file application before another court....so on fixed day client was produced before court....judge formally told i am not willing to grant bail.....
u may file application....again i thought dismissal of simple bail application....no it would not solve my purpose ....i will wait...agin a week judicial remand....now things started bothering me.....now again on a date fixed i filed application for bail....it was kept for reply after two days again.
i was ready with two sovent sureties hoping against all hopes.....after lunch application was dismissed...and again a judicial remand to acussed.
Now what.....
i tried to persuade the client and his family members.
To my surprise it seemed that they knew the fate and quitely they listened to me.
with one word at last, appeal, i replied in affirmative.
Now i gathered that its a universal truth that if one feels that this thing wil happen or is likely to happen, for sure that thing will not happen subject to certain exception ofcourse.
...then our role being trial lawyers is not to stop but keep moving like a river without waiting for final outcome.

U dont have to be like a child with fold hands looking for what u want as in pic asking for relief. Just do it and move on.....so bail can never be a right but a privilege.
