Hi Satish, Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code which is Abatement to Suicide is a non-bailabale offence.

But even when a person is arrested in relation to a non-bailable offence, they can apply for bail under Section 437 Cr.P.C. before a Magistrate.


The bail is usually denied under following circumstances as reproduced hereunder: 
(i) That the accused involved in an offence which is punishable with death or imprisonment for life;
(ii) The person who has been previously convicted for an offence punishable with death, imprisonment for life or  Imprisonment for seven years or more, or he had been previously convicted. 
(iii) Possibility of interference with justice by influencing witnesses.

If charge-sheet is not filed within 60 days from the date of arrest then accused is entitled to statutory bail is under section 167 Cr. P.C.
