What is interim bail?
Interim bail means bail given for a limited period. Generally, the court grants interim bail to the accused with certain conditions in many cases. However, after the expiry of the interim bail period, the accused will have to surrender again. The court grants this bail when the application for regular or anticipatory bail is not pending before the court. In many cases, the court can also extend the time limit of interim bail.
What is regular bail?
Any criminal can apply to the court for regular bail, also known as ordinary bail. Sections 437 and 439 of CrPC empower the court to grant regular bail to the accused. Apart from regular bail, there is another type of bail which is called anticipatory bail. This bail is given to a person before his arrest. When a person fears arrest in a case, he takes anticipatory bail in advance. However, anticipatory bail is not granted in all types of cases. For example, if the case involves a serious crime like murder or rape, the accused may not get anticipatory bail.
