Right to Bail: A Constitutional and Criminal Justice Safeguard in BangladeshThe right to bail is a crucial part of the justice system, protecting individuals from unjust pre-trial detention. ZCA LEGAL frequently files bail applications for clients accused of both bailable and non-bailable offenses. Under Article 33 of the Constitution and the Code of Criminal Procedure, everyone has the right to consult a lawyer and be produced before a court within 24 hours of arrest. Bail is not a favor—it’s a right based on presumption of innocence. Courts assess bail on factors like flight risk, seriousness of offense, and evidence strength. We assist with anticipatory bail, regular bail, and appeal bail at magistrate, sessions, and High Court levels.
