General Dying Declaration + Hostile Witnesses Invalidate Prima Facie Case | Bail Granted Under BNSS Section 483 in Acid Attack Case : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court granted bail in a severe acid attack case after finding the dying declaration too vague to implicate the accused specifically, and all key prosecution witnesses had turned hostile. This reinforces that even in heinous BNS/DP Act cases, the absence of direct, specific evidence and credible testimony can justify bail under Section 483, protecting accused persons from prolonged detention without a prima facie case.
