Common confusion points
Confusing 'Remand' with simple 'Bail': Remand means being held *pending* trial; Bail means having conditions allowing release.
Not knowing which Act governs the specific detention reason (e.g., flight risk vs. seriousness of offence).
Failing to specify if this warrant is for a preliminary hearing or the main trial period.
Assuming the police can issue it without court sign-off; judicial authorisation is key.
