Instead, Chapter 13 of the Russian Code of Criminal Procedure (CPC) provides a range of measures of restraint, including an undertaking not to leave, personal guarantees, prohibition of specified activities, bail, house arrest, and detention. These measures form a graduated system, allowing the court to choose the level of restriction appropriate to the circumstances of the case.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_89

>Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is based on Article 22 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which protects personal liberty and provides that arrest and detention require a judicial decision. Russian bail jurisprudence should therefore be understood not simply as a system of financial security but as part of the wider judicial process of determining whether pretrial detention is necessary or whether a less restrictive measure can adequately ensure the proper conduct of the criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-constitutional-foundations-of-pre-trial-liberty\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constitutional_Foundations_of_Pre-Trial_Liberty\"><\/span>Constitutional Foundations of Pre-Trial Liberty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The foundational premise of the system is the constitutional mandate protecting individual freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 22 of the Russian Constitution specifies that every individual has an absolute right to liberty and physical inviolability, prohibiting arbitrary detention absent express judicial authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CPC operationalises this principle. Article 10 provides that no individual may be detained or held in custody without explicit statutory grounds. Pre-judicial detention by law enforcement authorities is strictly capped at a maximum of 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judicial scrutiny is thus triggered early in the process. Applications for detention are adjudicated by a judge in an adversarial hearing involving the suspect or accused, defence counsel, and the prosecutor. Under Article 108 of the CPC, the court must review the investigator\u2019s detention petition within eight hours of receiving the case materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This statutory mandate ensures that decisions to restrict personal liberty remain within the exclusive domain of the judiciary, rather than at the discretion of investigative agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-system-of-graduated-preventive-measures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_System_of_Graduated_Preventive_Measures\"><\/span>The System of Graduated Preventive Measures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian law employs a dynamic continuum of pre-trial restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 98 of the CPC delineates eight distinct preventive measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Undertaking not to leave and to exhibit proper behaviour;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personal guarantee;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Command supervision of an active military service member;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Supervision of a juvenile suspect or accused;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prohibition of specified activities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bail;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>House arrest; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Custodial detention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This legal arrangement underlines that detention is not the exclusive mechanism for ensuring attendance or protecting the integrity of an investigation. The judiciary is required to assess whether less severe alternatives suffice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2018 statutory amendments were a notable development, formally establishing the \u201cprohibition of specified activities\u201d as an independent judicial measure. This created a versatile middle ground between unconditional liberty and severe physical confinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-statutory-grounds-for-imposing-preventive-measures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Statutory_Grounds_for_Imposing_Preventive_Measures\"><\/span>Statutory Grounds for Imposing Preventive Measures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 97 of the CPC specifies the legal thresholds required to order any preventive measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court must find verified, objective grounds indicating that the suspect or accused:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is likely to abscond from the investigative authorities or the court;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May continue engaging in criminal activity;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poses a threat to witnesses, victims, or other procedural participants;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May destroy, conceal, or falsify evidence; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May otherwise obstruct the proper administration of justice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, preventive measures may be ordered to secure the execution of a sentence or to facilitate extradition proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crucially, the gravity of the alleged offence alone does not provide a sufficient legal basis for custodial detention. The court must demonstrate specific procedural risks under Article 97.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenum resolutions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation reinforce this standard, ruling that the grounds relied upon for detention must be substantiated by reliable, admissible evidence, rather than speculative claims by investigative agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-individualised-judicial-assessment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Individualised_Judicial_Assessment\"><\/span>Individualised Judicial Assessment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 99 of the CPC directs courts to undertake a holistic, individualised evaluation when selecting an appropriate preventive measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court is required to examine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The nature and severity of the alleged offence;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether physical violence or threats were used;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The character, background, and identity of the accused;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Age and medical history\/health status;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Family obligations and dependents;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Employment status and official income sources; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other relevant socio-demographic factors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These standard mandates an individualised assessment. Courts cannot determine pre-trial restraint automatically based on statutory charge classifications alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supreme Court directives emphasise that judicial decisions must explicitly articulate the nexus between specific facts regarding the accused and the particular Article 97 procedural risks. Abstract boilerplate language in detention orders fails this statutory standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bail-dynamics-under-article-106-cpc\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bail_Dynamics_Under_Article_106_CPC\"><\/span>Bail Dynamics Under Article 106 CPC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statutory equivalent to financial bail in Russian procedure is \u0437\u0430\u043b\u043e\u0433\u0430 (zalog).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 106 of the CPC defines bail as money, securities, valuable assets, or real property deposited into the court\u2019s account by the suspect, accused, or a third-party individual or legal entity. Its legal purpose is to guarantee appearance before investigative authorities or the court, prevent recidivism, and deter procedural obstruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bail functions strictly as a procedural security instrument, rather than a punitive fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Significantly, bail can be proposed not only by the accused but also by third-party guarantors. The court evaluates the type and valuation of the security after assessing the severity of the offence, the accused&#8217;s profile, and the financial solvency of the bail provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bail-as-a-direct-alternative-to-detention\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bail_as_a_Direct_Alternative_to_Detention\"><\/span>Bail as a Direct Alternative to Detention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bail plays an important role when investigative authorities request custodial detention, but the court finds that procedural goals can be secured through less restrictive means.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 106 explicitly authorises the court to consider a bail application concurrently with an investigator\u2019s petition for custodial detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an accused is already in custody, the court may grant a temporary period to allow the required bail funds or property to be deposited into the court&#8217;s account. If the deposit is not completed within the prescribed timeframe, the court re-evaluates which alternative preventive measure should apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mechanism integrates bail directly into the judicial evaluation of alternatives to custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-judicial-determination-of-bail-amounts\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Judicial_Determination_of_Bail_Amounts\"><\/span>Judicial Determination of Bail Amounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quantitative assessment and form of bail are determined by judicial discretion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Article 106, the judge must balance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The categorisation and circumstances of the alleged crime;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The personal profile and background of the accused; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The verified financial position of the individual or entity posting the security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accounting for the bail provider&#8217;s financial position ensures that bail remains a functional guarantee rather than an unattainable financial barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To remain legally sound, the bail amount must maintain a reasonable relationship to its procedural purpose. Setting an excessively high, unpayable bail amount invalidates the statutory distinction between financial bail and custodial detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-combining-bail-with-behavioural-restrictions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Combining_Bail_with_Behavioural_Restrictions\"><\/span>Combining Bail with Behavioural Restrictions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian procedure allows for composite preventive measures where financial bail is combined with structural prohibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under Article 97(1.1), when granting bail, the court may simultaneously impose specific conditions drawn from the &#8220;prohibition of specified activities&#8221; framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tailored restrictions can include prohibitions against:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leaving a designated residence during specified hours;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visiting designated venues or geographical areas;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approaching or coming within a set distance of specified individuals;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicating with co-defendants, victims, or witnesses;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sending or receiving postal and digital communications;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Utilising telecommunication channels or the internet; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Operating motor vehicles under specified circumstances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mechanism creates a flexible model of pre-trial release that pairs financial guarantees with targeted behavioural supervision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-prohibition-of-certain-activities-article-105-1-cpc\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prohibition_of_Certain_Activities_Article_1051_CPC\"><\/span>Prohibition of Certain Activities (Article 105.1 CPC)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The implementation of Article 105.1 of the CPC expanded non-custodial options in Russian criminal procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A prohibition of specified activities is ordered judicially when lighter measures (such as an undertaking not to leave) are insufficient, but full detention is disproportionate. It establishes targeted restrictions while permitting the accused to remain in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court must define the exact terms of the order, specifying allowed residential boundaries, prohibited contacts, and communication limits. Compliance is monitored using electronic monitoring tools, including GPS\/radio-frequency ankle bracelets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This option highlights the principle of graduated restraint, allowing courts to avoid binary choices between unconditional liberty and physical incarceration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-detention-as-a-measure-of-last-resort\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Detention_as_a_Measure_of_Last_Resort\"><\/span>Detention as a Measure of Last Resort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-trial detention is the most restrictive preventive measure under Russian law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 108 of the CPC dictates that custodial detention may be ordered only by judicial decision, generally for offences carrying statutory penalties exceeding three years&#8217; imprisonment, and only when less restrictive preventive measures cannot fulfil procedural goals. The judicial order must cite concrete facts establishing this necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This &#8220;necessity test&#8221; governs the selection between pre-trial detention and alternative measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court must address a core procedural question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are the identified procedural risks so severe that no combination of alternative measures\u2014such as bail, house arrest, or behavioural prohibitions\u2014can mitigate them?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If less restrictive options can adequately address the risks, the statutory framework directs the court toward those alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-strict-judicial-reasoning-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strict_Judicial_Reasoning_Requirements\"><\/span>Strict Judicial Reasoning Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supreme Court jurisprudence places emphasis on clear factual justification in detention rulings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Supreme Court requires that Article 97 grounds cited in detention orders be backed by verified, case-specific evidence. Abstract generalities regarding the severity of the charge are legally insufficient to justify custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This requirement serves two principal functions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It limits the practice of ordering detention purely on the statutory categorisation of the offence.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It ensures a clear evidentiary record for appellate courts to review the factual basis of the lower court&#8217;s ruling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The quality of judicial reasoning is thus a key factor in ensuring compliance with statutory standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-statutory-time-limits-on-pre-trial-detention\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Statutory_Time_Limits_on_Pre-Trial_Detention\"><\/span>Statutory Time Limits on Pre-Trial Detention<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent indefinite pre-trial confinement, Article 109 of the CPC establishes strict statutory timeframes for custodial detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The initial period of detention during the investigative phase is capped at two months. Extensions may be granted by judicial order up to six months. Extensions beyond six months\u2014up to twelve or eighteen months\u2014are reserved for exceptional circumstances involving grave or especially grave crimes, requiring authorisation from higher judicial tiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These statutory limits reinforce the principle that pre-trial detention is a temporary procedural necessity, not an advance form of punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a court denies an investigator&#8217;s request to extend detention, it may replace custody with a less restrictive alternative, such as bail, house arrest, or specified activity prohibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-legal-consequences-of-non-compliance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Consequences_of_Non-Compliance\"><\/span>Legal Consequences of Non-Compliance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bail involves enforceable financial consequences for non-compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the suspect or accused breaches the conditions of release or violates associated court orders, the deposited bail is forfeited to the state treasury by judicial decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, if the proceedings conclude without procedural breaches, the court orders the full return of the deposited funds or property to the bail provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This structure ensures that financial bail acts as a direct incentive for procedural compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-constitutional-court-interventions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constitutional_Court_Interventions\"><\/span>Constitutional Court Interventions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jurisprudence surrounding pre-trial liberty has been shaped by rulings of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, such as Judgement No. 29-P of June 17, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Judgement 29-P, the Constitutional Court analysed Article 106 of the CPC, emphasising that bail must be applied in accordance with constitutional guarantees of personal liberty. The Court reaffirmed that judges must conduct an individualised assessment of the accused&#8217;s profile and the bail provider&#8217;s financial standing, ensuring that bail functions as a realistic alternative to custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This ruling highlights that statutory provisions governing pre-trial release must be interpreted in light of constitutional protections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-proportionality-and-the-presumption-of-pre-trial-liberty\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Proportionality_and_the_Presumption_of_Pre-Trial_Liberty\"><\/span>Proportionality and the Presumption of Pre-Trial Liberty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Russian procedure does not explicitly state the common-law maxim &#8220;bail is the rule, custody is the exception,&#8221; the statutory architecture establishes a functional equivalent through its structured system of alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This functional equivalent is expressed through mandatory judicial evaluation of proportionality, individual circumstances, and the feasibility of less restrictive measures before ordering detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supreme Court directives reinforce this principle by requiring concrete factual evidence to justify detention over non-custodial options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Russian model can thus be characterised as a system of judicially monitored proportionality and graduated restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-special-statutory-protections-for-economic-offences\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Special_Statutory_Protections_for_Economic_Offences\"><\/span>Special Statutory Protections for Economic Offences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian criminal procedure includes targeted statutory rules regarding economic and business-related offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Article 99(2) of the CPC mandates that when evaluating preventive measures for offences connected to entrepreneurial or corporate activities, courts must consider options that allow the accused to continue managing business operations and assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Article 108(1.1) sets higher statutory thresholds for ordering pre-trial detention in corporate and entrepreneurial cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These provisions reflect a statutory effort to prevent the unnecessary disruption of lawful economic activity during criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-comparative-framework-of-preventive-measures\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparative_Framework_of_Preventive_Measures\"><\/span>Comparative Framework of Preventive Measures<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spectrum of pre-trial restraint under Russian law can be summarised as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Preventive Measure<\/th><th>Operational Character<\/th><th>Primary Procedural Function<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Undertaking Not to Leave<\/td><td>Non-custodial restriction<\/td><td>Limits travel outside a designated municipality.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Personal Guarantee<\/td><td>Third-party supervision<\/td><td>Relies on the reputation and oversight of a trusted sponsor.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Prohibition of Specified Activities<\/td><td>Targeted behavioural restriction<\/td><td>Imposes specific conditions monitored via electronic devices.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bail<\/td><td>Financial security + optional conditions<\/td><td>Uses asset forfeiture risks to secure procedural compliance.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>House Arrest<\/td><td>Custodial restriction<\/td><td>Restricts physical movement to a designated residence.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Detention<\/td><td>Full custodial confinement<\/td><td>Incarceration in a pre-trial detention facility.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bail occupies a key intermediate position in this hierarchy\u2014providing greater security than a standard undertaking while avoiding the liberty restrictions of house arrest or custodial detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalservicesindia.com\/legal-notice-in-india-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">File Legal Notice in India: Complete Guide to Drafting, Procedure, Cost &amp;

The Constitution protects personal liberty and requires judicial authorisation for detention, while Article 97 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CPC) sets out the grounds for imposing preventive measures and requires the circumstances of the individual case to be considered. Article 106 provides bail as an alternative to detention, allowing financial security, together with appropriate conditions, to ensure compliance with the criminal process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system therefore rests on three basic principles: judicial control over deprivation of liberty, concrete and individualised reasons for detention, and graduated restraint through less restrictive measures such as bail, house arrest, and specified prohibitions. Pre-trial detention is intended to secure the proper conduct of criminal proceedings, not to serve as punishment before conviction. The fundamental judicial task is therefore to protect the integrity of the process while restricting personal liberty only to the extent permitted and required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-related-links yoast-seo-related-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/pre-trial-detention-and-bail-jurisprudence-in-the-united-states\/\">Pre-Trial Detention and Bail Jurisprudence in the United States<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/geopolitical-tensions-and-trade-policies-on-commercial-arbitration\/\">The Impact of Geopolitical Tensions and Trade Policies on Commercial Arbitration<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/bail-and-social-justice-in-india-constitutional-rights-liberty-and-undertrial-detention\/\">Bail and Social Justice in India: Constitutional Rights, Liberty, and Undertrial Detention<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/legal-institutions-in-war-use-abuse-ignorance\/\">The Illusion of Intervention: How Legal Institutions are Used, Abused, and Ignored in War<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.legalserviceindia.com\/Legal-Articles\/judicial-discretion-in-granting-or-refusing-bail\/\">Judicial Discretion in Granting or Refusing Bail<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Russian criminal procedure does not treat bail as the primary or default form of pre-trial release, unlike many common-law systems.
