Regular Bail

The bail applies when a person commits offences having grievous nature and the offence comes under the cognizable non-bailable offence, the offences in which Police have the power to arrest any accused without a warrant or start the investigation not even having the permission of the court. The custody of the Police can be exempted after applying the regular bail which has been given under sections 437 and 439 of the Cr. P.C has a right to have the accused released from such custody. 

Interim Bail

Interim Bail is also known as conditional bail and can be extended anytime. The bail is only for temporary means and allotted for a short period of time, especially the time when any application is pending status in court. If the bail has expired before the accused has been granted anticipatory bail or a regular bail and he could not submit the money which is required for continuing the bail then on such condition he loses his right of freedom and will be arrested by the Police.

Anticipatory Bail
