To release a specific person on bail, it is necessary to submit a petition to the court for the application of this preventive measure. The petition can be made on behalf of the suspect himself, accused of committing a crime, or from others who are willing to transfer a certain amount as bail.
Release on bail is considered a preventive measure that is applied only by a court decision if there is a corresponding request from the interested party. The petition is usually submitted by the suspect himself, accused of committing a crime or by his defense lawyer, although the amount of bail can be paid by other citizens, organizations that also have the right to submit a relevant request to the court. It should be borne in mind that the application of bail is the exclusive prerogative of the court, and the decision to use this measure in a particular case is applied taking into account various circumstances, including the severity of the act committed, the identity of the suspect or accused, the amount of the bail and other factors.
What must be indicated in the application for the application of the bail?
A petition for the application of a pledge must contain the name of the judicial authority, the name of the citizen or the name of the organization from which the petition is issued. The text of the petition should clearly state the request to apply a measure of restraint in the form of bail to a particular citizen. Also, the proposed amount of the deposit is indicated directly in this application, which should be formed taking into account the existing minimum restrictions. The funds are deposited into the court's deposit account, while it is recommended to prepare the necessary amount for the transfer in advance, since if the application is satisfied, the transfer will need to be made within seventy two hours from the moment the corresponding decision is made. Other values can also be offered as collateral, which, if necessary, can be foreclosed.
What happens after bail?
If the suspect or the accused is released by the court on bail, then certain restrictions are imposed on him due to the need for a prompt and objective investigation of the criminal case. So, the specified person is obliged to appear at the first request of the investigating authorities to perform various investigative, procedural actions, participate in related activities. It is also mandatory to appear at all court hearings after the completion of the preliminary investigation. In case of violation of these conditions, the commission of other crimes, the preventive measure is immediately replaced by a more stringent one, and the transferred funds or transferred values are transferred to the state budget.
