It is imperative to seek advice on the bail procedure well before the first appearance in Court (called the first mention) or when you attend at the Station to be charged. Bail will be set on that day and if you require the amount to be moderated, your counsel should be appraised of the facts to make an argument on this issue at the mention. You should prepare the relevant amount in advance so that you do not spend unnecessary time in the lockup. If you are unable to raise the sum by the afternoon, you may well have to spend time in Remand until bail has been raised.
