The temporary release of the accused on bail requires that he or she provides some guarantee to confirm their appearance in the court proceedings. The guarantee may involve retaining the passport of the accused or their family members and friends. Furthermore money can also be deposited in the courts as a guarantee or a solvent person can be the guarantee as well for a certain amount to be paid if the accused violates the bail provisions.
