Section 482 BNSS | Pre-Arrest Bail Granted Where Private Complaint Omits Accused Entirely, No Prima Facie Link Established : Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court granted pre-arrest bail to an accused not named in the private complaint, holding that absence of any direct allegation defeats the necessity for custodial interrogation. This reinforces that mere association with co-accused, without specific imputation, cannot justify arrest under BNSS - a critical safeguard for individuals falsely implicated in complex financial frauds.
