BNSS Section 483 | Charge-Sheet Filing Alone Does Not Bar Bail for First-Time Accused with Simple Injuries: Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court rules that mere filing of a charge-sheet under BNSS does not automatically disentitle a first-time accused with simple injuries to bail. The court emphasized the accused's clean record, minor injuries, and co-accused's prior bail as key factors, reinforcing bail jurisprudence under the new criminal procedure code.
