#Financial Misappropriation

Bombay HC's Nagpur Bench ruled that custodial interrogation is unnecessary for anticipatory bail under BNS if audit reports and case diaries fail to establish prima facie involvement in financial misappropriation. The court emphasized that directors who proactively lodged complaints against errant officials cannot be implicated based on general allegations alone.

The Andhra Pradesh High Court granted anticipatory bail to a wife accused in a financial misappropriation case, holding that mere marital relationship does not establish conspiracy without proof of involvement in business transactions. The ruling reinforces that individualized culpability is essential under BNSS Section 482, even in offences involving family members.
