Default Bail Under BNSS | 60-Day Limit Applies to Attempted Offences Carrying ≤10 Years Imprisonment : Gauhati HC
Gauhati High Court rules that the 60-day default bail limit under Section 483 of BNSS applies to attempted offences where the maximum punishment is 10 years or less, even if the completed offence carries a higher penalty. The judgment clarifies that punishment for attempt is half of the completed offence, directly impacting bail eligibility in POCSO and BNS cases.
