Section 482 BNSS | Anticipatory Bail Petition Non-Maintainable After Regular Bail Grant : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that once regular bail is granted, a subsequent anticipatory bail petition under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) becomes non-maintainable, even if graver offences are added later. This clarifies the procedural hierarchy between anticipatory and regular bail, impacting bail jurisprudence under the new criminal law framework.
