Bail after conviction is possible

Once an accused is convicted by the trial court in any offense, bail of such accused is possible under the provisions of section 426 of the criminal procedure code 1898. The only way for obtaining such bail is to challenge the conviction in the appeal. A petition under section 426 of the CRPC has to be filed in the High Court for the suspension of punishment. If the High Court things fit, the sentence can be suspended and accused can be released on bail in such like circumstances. Ordinarily bail of accused in not possible under the provisions of sections 497 and 498 of CRPC once the accused is convicted by any competent court.
