Section 160(2) in The Railways Act, 1989
(2) If any person breaks any gate or chain or barrier set up on either side of a level crossing which is closed to road traffic, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years.
t mandates that a person when is arrested for other than nonbailable offence and the officer is prepared to grant bail while in custody, such person shall be released on bail. Meaning thereby the police officer has been authorised to release a person if he is arrested for a non bailable offence.
