WHAT IS MAXIMUM PERIOD OF JUDICIAL REMAND?

Law does not prescribes any [particular] number of days for the Accused to be kept in the Judicial Custody before granting of Bail.

However, Section 167[2] [i] and [ii] allows the Jurisdiction Magistrate to give the Accused a mandatory Bail based on the offences he commissioned.

Mandatory Bail could be granted to the Accused after he spent 60 days in the jail for punishable offences less than 10 years imprisonment. For beyond 10 years offences, the Accused would be granted Mandatory Bail after staying in Jail for some 90 days.

Even otherwise the discretion lies with the Court to grant Mandatory Bail having considering the 60 days or 90 days legally immune period.

Otherwise, the Court has the powers to extend the Judicial Remand of the Accused every 15 days once under Section 309[2] of Cr.P.C.
