(1) When any person has reason
to believe that he may be arrested on an accusation of having committed a non-bailable offence, he may
apply to the High Court or the Court of Session for a direction under this section; and that Court may, if it
thinks fit, direct that in the event of such arrest, he shall be released on bail.(2) When the High Court or the Court of Session makes a direction under sub-section(1),it may include
such conditions in such directions in the light of the facts of the particular case, as it may think fit,
including—(i) a condition that the person shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as
and when required;(ii) a condition that the person shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or
promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such
facts to the Court or to any police officer;(iii) a condition that the person shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court;(iv) such other condition as may be imposed under sub-section(3)of section 480, as if the bail were
granted under that section.(3) If such person is thereafter arrested without warrant by an officer in charge of a police station on
such accusation, and is prepared either at the time of arrest or at any time while in the custody of such
officer to give bail, he shall be released on bail; and if a Magistrate taking cognizance of such offence
decides that a warrant should be issued in the first instance against that person, he shall issue a bailable
warrant in conformity with the direction of the Court under sub-section(1).(4) Nothing in this section shall apply to any case involving the arrest of any person on accusation of
having committed an offence under section 65 and sub-section(2)of section 70 of the Bharatiya Nyaya
Sanhita, 2023.
