  437.When bail may be taken in case of non-bailable offence.-
  (1) When any person accused of or suspected of
  
  the commission of any non-bailable offence is arrested or detained without
  
  warrant by an officer in charge of a police station or appears or is brought
  
  before a Court other than the High Court or Court of Session, he may be released
  
  on bail, but he shall not be so released if there appear reasonable grounds for
  
  believing that he has been guilty of an offence punishable with death or
  
  imprisonment for life:
  
  Provided that the Court may direct that any person under the age of sixteen
  
  years or any woman or any sick or infirm person accused of such an offence be
  
  released on bail:
  
  Provided furtherthat the mere fact that an accused person may be
  
  required for being identified by witnesses during investigation shall not be
  
  sufficient ground for refusing to grant bail if he is otherwise entitled to be
  
  released on bail and gives an undertaking that he shall comply with such
  
  directions as may be given by the Court.
  
  
  (2) If it appears to such officer or Court at any stage of the investigation,
  
  inquiry or trial, as the case may be, that there are not reasonable grounds for
  
  believing that the accused has committed a non-bailable offence, but that there
  
  are sufficient grounds for further inquiry into his guilt, the accused shall,
  
  pending such inquiry, be released on bail, or, at the discretion of such
  
  officer or Court, on the execution by him of a bond without sureties for his
  
  appearance as hereinafter provided.
  (3) When a person accused or suspected of the commission of an offence
  
  punishable with imprisonment which may extend to seven years or more or of an
  
  offence under Chapter VI, Chapter XVI or Chapter XVII of the Indian Penal
  
  Code(45 of 1860) or abetment of, or conspiracy or attempt to commit, any such
  
  offence, is released on bail under sub-section (1), the Court may impose any
  
  condition which the Court considers necessary-
  (a) in order to ensure that such person shall attend in accordance with the
  
  conditions of the bond executed under this Chapter, or
  (b) in order to ensure that such person shall not commit an offence similar to
  
  the offence of which he is accused or of the commission of which he is
  
  suspected, or
  (c) otherwise in the interests of justice. 
  (4) An officer or a Court releasing any person on bail under sub-section (1) or
  
  sub-section (2), shall record in writing his or its reasons for so doing.
  (5) Any Court which has released a person on bail under sub-section (1) or
  
  sub-section (2), may, if it considers it necessary so to do, direct that such
  
  person be arrested and commit him to custody.
  (6) If, in any case triable by a Magistrate, the trial of a person accused of
  
  any non-bailable offence is not concluded within a period of sixty days from
  
  the first date fixed for taking evidence in the case, such person shall, if he
  
  is in custody during the whole of the said period, be released on bail to the
  
  satisfaction of the Magistrate, unless for reasons to be recorded in writing,
  
  the Magistrate otherwise directs.
  (7) If, at any time after the conclusion of the trial of a person accused of a
  
  non-bailable offence and before judgment is delivered, the Court is of opinion
  
  that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the accused is not guilty
  
  of any such offence, it shall release the accused, if he is in custody, on the
  
  execution by him of a bond without sureties for his appearance to hear judgment
  
  delivered.
