Anticipatory Bail Under BNSS | Custodial Interrogation Unjustified Where Case Relies on Documentary Evidence: Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that anticipatory bail cannot be denied merely because the case involves serious offences under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act if the prosecution relies solely on documentary evidence. The court held that custodial interrogation is unwarranted without specific grounds, reinforcing that arrest is not automatic even in non-bailable offences.
