Rule 529(f) - Application For Bail Without Hearing

An application for fixing or reducing bail, without issuance of writ of habeas corpus or requiring the appearance of Commonwealth witnesses, may be made to the assigned judge of the Court of Common Pleas by petition and order addressed to the court provided:

1. A copy of said petition has been presented to the District Attorney and the Bail Agency; and,

2. The District Attorney has no objection thereto, and so certifies on the original Petition.

When determining whether bail should be allowed, or the amount thereof, only the criminal transcript, the police report, or information supplied by the Delaware County Bail Agency need be considered on the application. Defendant is limited to one application, and neither the defendant, nor any prosecuting witness need personally appear before the court on the petition.
