Provisional bail, interim bail, anticipatory bail, and regular bail are four types of bail that can be granted to an accused person in criminal proceedings. The main differences between the four are:

Purpose: Provisional bail is granted to an accused person who requires temporary release for a specific purpose, such as to attend a wedding, funeral, or medical treatment. Interim bail is granted to an accused person who is seeking regular bail, but the regular bail application is not yet heard or decided. Anticipatory bail is granted to a person who apprehends arrest in a non-bailable offence. Regular bail is granted to an accused person who has been arrested and is in custody.

Timeframe: Provisional bail is granted for a specific period of time, usually for the duration of the event for which it was granted. Interim bail is granted for a short period of time until a regular bail application is filed or decided. Anticipatory bail remains in force until the end of the trial or until it is cancelled by the court. Regular bail is granted until the conclusion of the trial.

Conditions: Provisional bail may be subject to conditions, such as the requirement to surrender the passport or report to the police station. Interim bail may also be subject to conditions, but they are usually less stringent than regular bail conditions. Anticipatory bail may be subject to conditions, such as the requirement to cooperate with the investigation, not to leave the jurisdiction, and to attend all court hearings. Regular bail is subject to conditions, such as the requirement to furnish a bond, report to the police station, or surrender the passport.

Jurisdiction: Provisional bail can be granted by the trial court or the High Court, while interim bail can be granted by the trial court, the High Court, or the Sessions Court. Anticipatory bail can only be granted by the High Court or the Supreme Court. Regular bail can be granted by the trial court or the High Court.

In summary, provisional bail is granted for a specific purpose and a limited period of time, while interim bail is granted for a short period of time until a regular bail application is heard or decided. Anticipatory bail is granted before an arrest is made, and it remains in force until the end of the trial or until it is cancelled by the court. Regular bail is granted after the arrest has been made, and it is subject to conditions until the conclusion of the trial.
