Section 354a IPC
5 years ago
Hi,
We have applied for the bail from the court (KKD), but Investigating Officer and opposition family didn't show up today. The judge gave the new date, which is tomorrow. What if they still don't show up tomorrow, in that case, how can we get the bail?
A.Dear Sir,
Nothing will happen. It seems to be a bailable offense.
