What to bring

Papers to bring

A copy of the FIR
The custody certificate from the jail superintendent
Certified copies of the lower courts' orders refusing bail
A copy of the challan and the list of witnesses, if filed; details of any other case against the petitioner
Aadhaar of the petitioner, and of the relative (pairokar) who signs the affidavit
The vakalatnama signed by the petitioner in jail and attested there

Where to go

Filed through an advocate at the filing counter of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh; the advocate signs it and files the vakalatnama.

Fee

Court fee stamps and the welfare stamp go on the petition and the vakalatnama as the High Court rules direct; ask the filing counter for today's amounts. The advocate's fee is separate.

Good to know

Bail is usually asked in the Sessions Court first; the High Court petition follows its refusal.
If bail is granted, keep two sureties with their papers ready for the trial court or Duty Magistrate.
The High Court works in English: the advocate files the English version, and any paper in Hindi or Punjabi usually needs a typed English translation.

Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
