Prepare for a bail discussion after arrest

If available: FIR or case number, police station, date of arrest, current custody place, the court involved, any earlier bail orders, and the next known hearing. Keep papers private; do not upload them here.

Write a short summary: who was arrested, when, where they are held, and the case identifiers printed on any paper you hold.

List questions, such as what the next hearing involves, what the lawyer needs from the family, and how you will receive updates.

Take it to an advocate you choose, or open the NALSA legal aid page to learn how to request assistance; it lists persons in custody among categories described for free legal services, and the authority decides eligibility and representation.

A clear brief and question list for the professional, not a prediction about bail.

If the FIR number is missing or papers conflict, note what each paper says and where the gaps are; ask the lawyer or legal aid office what to obtain. This guide is not an emergency service.
