      Sir, I want to know whether an offence under Essential Commodities Act is bailable or non-bailable? A case is registered against me and I am out of station at the moment. So, will I get bail if police arrests me?

      After 1996, all offences under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, are bailable. Bailable means you have a right to get bail if arrested.

      Thus, you would get bail if you are arrested in connection with an offence under this Act.
