Section 483 BNSS | Prolonged Pre-Trial Detention Without Trial Progress Justifies Bail Despite Serious Offences: MP High Court

The Madhya Pradesh High Court granted bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, emphasizing that prolonged custody without trial progress violates Article 21 rights, even in cases involving serious offences. The ruling mandates strict conditions, including victim protection and non-contact orders, setting a precedent for bail jurisprudence under the new criminal procedure framework.
