Please note, this technique applies only for stray "BABY" bats
1. If the baby bat (bb) is hovering in a particular room. Leave the lights on and evacuate the room asap.
2. Never shoot a bat - u may get screwed by PETA
3. Now the bb is harmless, but it doesn't know that its claws (at the end of the wings) are harmful. In case it strikes your eye you will be blind for life.
4. Next, take a big sheet and cover your self - including your head and arms and the lower part of the face. If u have a burkha like outfit - then that will come handy in such a situation!!!
5. Use kitchen gloves - in case, the bat is in the kitchen, u can use a thick polythene bag to cover ur hands.
6. Please use a goggle or glare to protect your eyes.
7. Now use a mosquito net or yet another bed sheet.
8. Open the closed room and enter slowly (take care that u don't panic nor u panic the bb).
9. Stand at the middle of the room and gently spread the net wave it (as u catch butterflies).
10. If wave the net professionally with care, the bb can be caught in 5 mins.
11. Once caught, the bb does not flutter - it can be held within your fist.
12. Slowly, untangle the bat from the net and set it free outside. (Please take care not to strangle or squeeze the bat, bbs are very delicate animals)
Please note that a fully grown bat cannot be captured and freed by this technique. In case, u want to try this with an adult bat, please do at your own risk!

How do you make sure bat is a baby bat or matured on? I believe it comes in different size.
does the bat gender matter for applying this technique..)
WOW
How kind of you to show so much care toward a baby bat that too a stray bat. Well, everything sounded good and I really enjoyed how you should have done it live; imagined and laughed to myself. But I do have my own doubts and here they come: Firstly, how to identify whether a bat is a baby bat or an adult bat? Because there are different species of bats and in each species, their sizes vary. Secondly, even if we come to a decision that it is a baby bat, it is going to be too small or tiny. Then how can we decide whether it is a stray bat or a normal bat? To make these decisions, we should first catch the bat because we cannot make all these conclusions while the bat is flying. Moreover, once we have caught the bat the next thing we have to do is to let it out of the house and not do those research works. So, this will practically not happen. Hope you are getting my Point.
But still applause for your kindness even toward a stray bat. Another Menaka Gandhi I suppose.

Yow! thanks for all ur comments
As to the doubts yu all have?
how to know if its a baby bat
A bb will be the size of a robin or sparrow
A medium sized one will be the size of a crow
An a really big one will look like a small puppy with wings - err I guess its wings produce a flapping and swooshing sound and it will be the total length with wings spread will be almost one meter or above
Gender doesnt matter when u catch a bat (indignant look)
All the bats are stray bats in a metropolitan city or else where (unless and until its a deep jungle - then it will be a normal bat)
In fact a bb will span upto 10-12 inches with wings spread
We dont have to do any reseacrh, just perception matters to decide if the bat is a bb..
It will be easier to find out that if the bat sits somewhere then it will be the size of a mouse :), else we have to go by the rule of thumb by gauging the size manually with yur eyes...hehe
I hope this information will be helpful for you..
Hey.. you have clarified my doubts. questions are well answered. I didn't realise that you have a very vast knowledge on subject "bats" (until I saw ur comments). Now that raises one more question... Did you tried any "Bat" recipe recently :)
