#charge-sheet delay

Telangana High Court reinforces that statutory bail under Section 167(2) CrPC (BNSS equivalent) is an indefeasible right, even in serious offences like POCSO, if the prosecution fails to file a charge sheet within 90 days. The ruling underscores that procedural timelines override gravity of allegations, directly impacting pre-trial detention rights for accused persons.

Andhra Pradesh High Court grants statutory bail under BNSS Section 187 where investigation exceeds 60 days without charge sheet filing, reinforcing accused's right to liberty.

Andhra Pradesh High Court rules that accused must be released on statutory bail if charge sheet not filed within prescribed time under BNSS, 2023.
