Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973–Sec. 437–It is not the law that bail should always be denied in a case where the offence punishable is death or life imprisonment–In exceptional cases, if the statute permits and the facts not being so gory and grave criminal antecedents shrouding the culprit, the consideration in such cases would be different–Bail can be granted in a non-bailable offence in three circumstances as depicted in the proviso-(i) being a person below 16 years of age, (ii) a woman, and (iii) is sick or infirm.
