Anticipatory Bail Permitted Indefinitely for Minor Role in Dowry Death Case When Co-Accused Already Released : Allahabad HC

The Allahabad High Court granted indefinite anticipatory bail to a sister-in-law accused in a dowry death case, emphasizing that minimal involvement and the co-accused’s prior bail justify extended protection until trial. This reinforces that duration is not automatic under Section 438 BNSS when the accused’s role is peripheral and no risk of evidence tampering exists.
