1) Bailable warrant is bailable by Police themselves.
2) Non Bailable warrant is bailable, not by police, but by the Court. Therefore, this is known as Non Bailable warrant..Here only the court can grant bail if it thinks fit.
Thus basically both are bailable...
Now when and why these warrants are issued by Courts....
When courts wants someone to appear before it, it asks him by three modes :-
A) Issues order asking him to come and appear before him on particular date.
B) If he does not come on that date, through himself or through any lawyer, then the court issues bailable warrant issued through police. .....It is in fact an order stating that "Arrest this man and bring him on particular date.. .....But if he gives undertaking and to appear on date, then do not Harass him, just take bond from him and let him come on that date on his own."
Here, when police catches the man, he let's him go if he gives bond to appear before court. Therefore this is called Bailable Warrant.
C) Now, if on that date, if again, that man does not come in court, then court issues "Non Bailable Warrant".... It orders police something like this,"Arrest this man, this time do not let him go by taking bond from him. Just lodge him in jail or bring him before me.. I will see if I want to give him bail or not"
*****
This is by and large, the general idea. Next time when you read in newspapers about Bailable Warrant or Non Bailable warrant, you may get the general idea.
