Section 160 (2) of Railway Act

Question;

Section 160(2) of Railway Act 

Is this bailable or not bailable ?

Answer ;

Section 160(2) in The Railways Act, 1989 (2) If any person breaks any gate or chain or barrier set up on either side of a level crossing which is closed to road traffic, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to five years. It mandates that a person when is arrested for other than non-bailable offence and the officer is prepared to grant bail while in custody, such person shall be released on bail. Meaning thereby the police officer has been authorised to release a person if he is arrested for a non bailable offence.
