In non-bailable offences, bail is at the court's discretion — before the Magistrate (Section 480 BNSS) or the Sessions Court and High Court (Section 483 BNSS).
If the investigation is not completed and the charge-sheet is not filed within the time the law allows — 60 or 90 days depending on the offence — the accused becomes entitled to default bail under Section 187(3) BNSS.
