What is the legal meaning of Bail?

Answer View answer ▾

Answer: Option C — The temporary release of an accused before conviction.

Detailed Solution

Bail is the release of an accused person from custody, on security or a bond, pending trial or appeal, with a promise to appear in court when required.

A defendant's written statement is a pleading in a civil suit, and the power to detain is arrest or custody, the opposite of bail.
