Section 483 BNSS | Delay in Arrest Cannot Deny Regular Bail When Investigation Concluded and Accused Offers Restitution : MP HC Indore
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that prolonged pre-arrest delay, by itself, is insufficient to deny regular bail if the investigation is complete and the accused is willing to deposit the alleged proceeds of crime in installments. This clarifies that procedural delay without flight risk or obstruction does not override the right to liberty under Section 483 BNSS, benefiting accused in financial fraud cases with no prior evasion.
