Anticipatory Bail Granted Where Mutual Fight and Clean Record Undermine Prima Facie Case Under BNS Section 109(1) : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court granted anticipatory bail to an accused in a violent altercation, holding that mutual injuries and the absence of criminal history create reasonable doubt about the prosecution’s version, making pre-trial detention unjustified. This reinforces that even serious charges under BNS Section 109(1) cannot override personal liberty when the incident suggests a spontaneous clash, not targeted assault.
