Abstract
When it comes to granting a provisional release to a suspect or criminal
defendant, various measures and criteria have been established as guidelines for
consideration. However, such guidelines have been consistently expanded up to the
present, adding more to the consideration process. Examples of the measures include:
the single-form provisional release request, suspect’s/defendant’s risk assessment, using
electronic monitoring equipment to keep track of or to restrict travel, and post-release

supervision. Depending on the charges and the severity of the case, the court may select
one of the measures to employ with or without bail, bail security, or bail contract, thus

improving the possibility of granting provisional release of the suspect/defendant. The
grant of provisional release is within the authority and the discretion of the judge, more

specifically for the case of the court of first instance in the provincial or the municipal

level, the chief judge or the judge on duty. It is therefore up to them to enforce the
provisional release measures effectively and reasonably under the relevant laws,

regulations, and guidelines.
This emphasizes the importance of the chief judge whose decisions to grant

provisional releases will set the standard for the future provisional release consideration

followed by other judges and court officers. Such standards will also be communicated
to other national justice agencies, the suspects and defendants in criminal cases, as well

as to the people. This article aims to elaborate on the importance of the role of chief
judge in enforcing the legally stipulated measures, criteria, and guidelines to grant

provisional releases to a suspect/criminal defendant in an equitable and reasonable

manner.
