Arnesh Kumar Guidelines | Automatic Arrest Unjustified in Non-Bailable Offences with Max 7-Year Punishment: Tripura HC Grants Bail Under BNS, POCSO & Disabilities Act
Tripura High Court reinforces that arrest in offences punishable by up to 7 years cannot be mechanical, even under stringent laws like POCSO and the Disabilities Act. The ruling mandates judicial scrutiny of arrest necessity, extending Arnesh Kumar principles to hybrid offences and setting a precedent for bail in cases involving serious allegations without custodial justification.
