Section 108 BNS | Anticipatory Bail Granted When Complainant’s Son Is Alive, Negating Abetment to Suicide : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court granted anticipatory bail after confirming the complainant’s son is alive, rendering the charge of abetment to suicide under Section 108 of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita legally unsustainable. This ruling reinforces that speculative or factually baseless FIRs cannot override personal liberty, especially when the core allegation is demonstrably false - a critical safeguard against misuse of criminal law against public servants.
