* The Bill seeks to amend the Bail Act, 1994 (Act No. 18 of 1994) to make certain violent offences under the Bail Act, 1994 and the offence of kidnapping for ransom under the Kidnapping Act, 2003 (Act No. 21 of 2003) non-bailable offences. The Act would be inconsistent with sections 4 and 5 of the Constitution and is therefore required to be passed by a special majority of three-fifths of the members of each House.
* The Bill passed with the requisite majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate
