A legal adjective describing an offence for which bail is legally permitted, or a person who is eligible to be granted bail. The term is standard in criminal law, particularly common in Indian, South African, and other Commonwealth legal systems. Not slang per se, but regionally salient -- Indian English journalism and legal reporting use it extensively in ways that mark it as characteristic vocabulary.
