Section 27 Evidence Act | CCTV Footage & Co-Accused Statements Insufficient for Bail Denial Without Direct Link to Crime: Bombay HC

Bombay High Court rules that CCTV footage showing the accused in a vehicle and co-accused statements under Section 27 of the Evidence Act do not establish prima facie complicity for bail denial. The court emphasizes that evidence must directly connect the accused to the crime, setting a threshold for bail jurisprudence in serious offenses like murder.
