BNS Bail Jurisprudence | No Overt Act Attribution & Undetermined Cause of Death Justify Bail for Elderly Accused : Bombay HC (Aurangabad Bench)
Bombay High Court grants bail to a 70-year-old accused in a BNS case where no overt act was attributed, the charge sheet was filed without framing charges, and the cause of death remained undetermined. The ruling reinforces that prolonged pre-trial detention is unjustified when the accused's role is unsubstantiated, setting a precedent for bail in cases with weak evidentiary links.
