Question:
In which of the following cases, the bail can be granted only on the court's discretion?
Options:
bailable
non-bailable
cognisable
con cognisable
Correct Answer:
non-bailable
Explanation:
Bailable and non-bailable offences: In certain minor offences, it is the right of the accused to obtain bail while the trial is pending. These are bailable offences. On the other hand there are more serious offences where the accused do not have a right to obtain bail; in such cases, bail can be granted only on the court's discretion. These are nonbailable offences.
