Bail for Attempt to Murder Cases in Bangalore – Legal Process Explained (Updated for BNS 2023)

Being accused of attempt to murder is one of the most serious legal challenges anyone can face. In Bangalore, such cases are treated with utmost gravity, and bail in attempt to murder cases requires strong legal strategy and court representation. With the introduction of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, which has replaced the Indian Penal Code, the legal landscape has undergone several important changes that every accused should be aware of.

At KYRALEGAL LLP, one of Bangalore’s top criminal law firms, we help clients secure anticipatory and regular bailin attempt to murder cases (Section 109 BNS). In this blog, we offer a detailed guide to the bail process, updated laws under the BNS, key considerations, and how our legal experts can assist you.

🧾 What is Attempt to Murder? (Section 109 of BNS)

Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the offense of attempt to murder is defined under:

• Section 109 BNS (equivalent to old Section 307 IPC)

This section deals with any act done with the intention or knowledge that, if it had caused death, would amount to murder.

✅ Key Elements:

• Intent to kill

• A direct act towards committing murder

• The act falls short of causing death

Punishment under Section 109 BNS:

• Up to 10 years of imprisonment, extendable to life imprisonment

• Fine may also be imposed

• If hurt is caused during the attempt, life imprisonment is possible
  

📌 Is Bail Possible in Attempt to Murder Cases?

Yes, bail is possible, but attempt to murder is a non-bailable and cognizable offense, meaning:

• The police can arrest the accused without a warrant.

• Bail is not a right but subject to judicial discretion.

Given the severity of the offense, early legal intervention is essential to protect the rights of the accused.

🔎 Types of Bail in Attempt to Murder Cases in Bangalore

1. Anticipatory Bail (Section 438 CrPC)

If an FIR has been filed or is likely to be filed under Section 109 BNS, the accused may seek anticipatory bail to avoid arrest.

When to apply: Immediately after learning of the complaint or FIRJurisdiction: Sessions Court or High Court

Grounds Considered:

• False implication or fabricated charges

• No criminal antecedents

• Nature of injury caused

• Role of the accused

At KYRALEGAL LLP, our lawyers frame detailed bail applications to demonstrate that custodial interrogation is unnecessary.

2. Regular Bail (Section 437/439 CrPC)

If the accused is already in custody, they can apply for regular bail. The bail application is submitted to the Magistrate or Sessions Court, depending on the stage of the investigation.

Important considerations for bail:

• Medical evidence (injuries)

• Weapon used, if any

• FIR contents vs actual facts

• Whether the accused cooperated with the investigation

• Likelihood of tampering with evidence

Our criminal law team builds a strong case around these aspects to secure favorable bail orders.

• Arrest memo (if applicable)

• Medical reports of the victim

• Identity proof of the accused

• Proof of residence

• Supporting documents to show false implication (e.g., CCTV, witness statements)

At KYRALEGAL LLP, we compile and verify all documents before filing the bail petition to avoid any legal delays.

This benefits the accused by reducing arbitrary arrests, especially in false or exaggerated complaints.
