Answer and explanation

Section 187(3) provides for release on bail when the applicable statutory detention period expires and the accused is prepared to and does furnish bail. The release on this ground is called default bail, also known as statutory bail.

Option feedback

Option A

Default bail arises on expiry of the applicable detention period, subject to the statutory bail condition.

Option B

Anticipatory bail under section 482 is sought in anticipation of arrest.

Option C

The stated release turns on statutory default rather than a decision on the merits of a regular bail application.

Option D

The provision grants bail on statutory default. It does not describe temporary protection pending a merits decision.
