#Cross-Case

Punjab & Haryana HC rules that anticipatory bail under Section 482 BNSS cannot be denied based on speculative claims of life-threatening injury when medical evidence is inconclusive and cross-cases exist. The court emphasized that self-defense claims and unclear aggression warrant bail at this stage, setting a precedent for similar disputes under the new criminal procedure code.

Madhya Pradesh High Court holds that cross-cases stemming from a single incident with close temporal and spatial proximity must be tried together to prevent conflicting verdicts.
