BNSS Section 482 | Pre-Arrest Bail Denied for Systemic Insurance Forgery Under BNS Sections 336(2)-(3) to Protect Investigation Integrity : Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court refused pre-arrest bail to an insurance agent who forged policy certificates to fraudulently claim accident compensation, holding that deliberate, large-scale financial forgery undermines public trust in insurance systems and jeopardizes ongoing investigations. This ruling reinforces that pre-arrest bail is not a right but a safeguard reserved for exceptional cases, especially where the offence is institutionalized and evidence-dependent.
