#bail conditions Allahabad HC

Allahabad HC grants bail under the SC/ST Act, emphasizing that vague allegations and minor injuries do not justify prolonged custody. The court underscores that co-accused exoneration and lack of grave harm weigh against detention, setting a precedent for bail jurisprudence under stringent statutes.

Allahabad HC grants bail in a POCSO, SC/ST, and BNS case, holding that delayed eyewitness statements (recorded 28 days post-incident) and the absence of DNA match create reasonable doubt, tilting the balance in favor of bail over prolonged custody. The ruling underscores that non-custodial interrogation suffices where forensic and testimonial gaps weaken the prosecution's case.
