#bail jurisdiction

Supreme Court rules that courts cannot use bail proceedings under Section 483 BNSS to issue administrative directives to police or trial courts on summons execution or coercive measures. The judgment reinforces the separation of judicial and administrative functions, limiting bail jurisdiction to its statutory scope.

Allahabad HC rules that bail cannot be denied to a juvenile solely based on the gravity of the offence under POCSO Act if the probation officer’s report is favorable. The court set aside the bail rejection, emphasizing that Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice Act requires mandatory consideration of the probation report before denying bail, reinforcing procedural safeguards for juveniles.
