1) your uncle admission of guilt would go against him

2) your uncle can apply for bail

3) court may grant uncle bail subject to condition that he would not seek to influence witnesses

The police must have booked your uncle under section 302 i.e., murder case.

Crime under section 302 is a non-bailable offence; mostly lower courts are avoiding giving bail for under trail accused. After rejecting once bail in lower court accused need to apply in the high court.

Bail in cases of non-bailable offences after submitting charge sheet in the court and maximum detention time depend on producing facts, circumstances, skill and bond with sureties & monetary obligation in the high court.

Any person charged under section 302 can be apply for bail after submitting charge sheet by police or 45 days after arrest.

It was clearly informed that a lawyer's fee cannot be predicted by another lawyer. You can clarify the same from the lawyer who you have engaged, this cross verification will not help you in reducing the fee demanded by that lawyer.

In a murder case, the accused can be kept till 90 days in the prison during the process of bail application.

The question is not about the background criminal record but it is based on the offence for which he has been booked now.

The accused cannot hit a person to death hence there can be no justification to it.

you may pursue the matter through your lawyer who may find some loopholes to get the accused enlarged on bail.

1. Section 302 IPC must have been slapped against your uncle as he snuffed out the life of an individual.

2. In murder cases the courts do not ordinarily grant bail at least during the pendency of the trial.

3. I cannot comment on the fee of the counsel as this varies from one lawyer to another.
