If police arrests you at night, how can one apply for bail?

If cops arrests someone at night, how can one apply for bail as courts are closed at night and will reopen only in the morning, that too if it is not a holiday? Does it mean that the person arrested has to spend entire night in jail and wait for the morning for court to open so that bail can be applied?

 

P.S. : Mr./Ms. Sudhir Kumar and his/her supporters, pls refrain from answering as your answers have no bases and are not properly reasoned by quoting sections and laws. This is a legal platform and not a temple for irrational theists like you were you will quote irrational moral couplets instead of acts and sections.

If it is a bailable offence then the accused will get it from the police station by the sho, if it is non bailable offence then accused have to wait till the court open .

Very nicely explained by Adv. Sawantji. Nothing much to add. It would be good if citizens of this country put pressure on their Hon'ble members of Parliament to amend Cr.PC so that police cannot arrest anyone between sunset and sunrise. Exception only when police needs to arrest for stopping a crime in progress.

Better to stay away from home when you have doubt of getting arrested

if offence is cognizable than arrest will be followed by FIR an if it is non-cognizable police can not arrest without warrent.  So if you have apprihention of arrest in a cognizable offence you can apply anticipatory bail and you may be granted bail before arrest or if there is no FIR than court may order for prior notice arrest to consern PS

if you want to get bail at night you may apply bail application before residence of Duty Magistrate alongwith your urgency
