BNSS Section 110 | Bone-Deep Lacerated Head Wound Suffices for Grievous Hurt Without Skull Fracture; Non-Arrested Accused Must Seek Bail Under Antil Guidelines : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court ruled that a bone-deep lacerated head wound meets the threshold for grievous hurt under BNSS Section 110, even without a skull fracture, affirming that the charge is not contingent on radiological evidence. It further directed non-arrested accused to apply for bail within three weeks, reinforcing the Satender Kumar Antil framework to prevent custodial overreach in non-violent, non-flight-risk cases.
