Section 480(2) BNSS | Gender Sensitivity and Prolonged Pre-Trial Custody Override Seriousness of Allegations in Bail : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that prolonged pre-trial detention (over three years) and gender considerations under Section 480(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNSS) take precedence over the gravity of murder allegations, reinforcing Article 21 rights. This sets a precedent for bail decisions where extended custody and gender sensitivity are pivotal factors.
