 Yes, sir. I would like to ask that. Is it correct to say that bail is a form of detention? Yes, see when you are arrested by a police officer, you are in custody and you apply for bail for getting yourself released from custody. Section 354 says CRPC says when an accused is ultimately acquitted of defense, he shall be set to liberty for this. So is he not set to liberty when he is granted bail? He was in custody. He has been granted bail. So is he not released from custody? So can you not say that he has been set to liberty? There is a misconception that once an accused is granted bail, he has been set to liberty. No He is not set to liberty. He was in the custody of law. When he was in custody, police custody or judicial custody, he was in the custody of law. His custody of law, his legal custody has been transferred to the custody of sureties, two or more sureties, who are none other than jailers of his own choice. Instead of being confined to the four walls of the prison, he is transferred through the custody of law to the custody of sureties who are his own jailers. He has chosen his jailers. They will be here after he is jailed. So from custody of law, he is transferred to the custody of his sureties. He continues to be under the custody of the court or rather court has got the ultimate authority to cancel his custody again put back, put him back to judicial or police custody. All those hours are there. There is a beautiful discussion of this in Halsbury's laws of England. Again, there's a decision of the Rajasthan High Court, Full Bench, Mahesh Chandu versus state of Rajasthan. 1985 criminal law journal page 3001, 3001, Full Bench, para-26, 1985 criminal law journal, 3001, para-26, Full Bench of the Rajasthan High Court. There is a discussion of the Supreme Court also on similar line. There is yet another decision that is Sul Fulchand Shah, Sul Fulchand Shah versus Union of India and otherwise. 2000 volume 3 SCC 409. 2000 volume 3 SCC 409. That decision also gives an insight regarding the nature of custody. So when a person is granted bail, yes, you're right. It is not as if he is set a liberty. He was in the custody of law. It has been transferred from the custody of law to the custody of the sureties who are none other than his own jailers, jailers of his own choice.
