Bail Conditions Under BNS 2023 | Criminal Courts Cannot Impose Recovery of Alleged Fraud Proceeds as Pre-Trial Condition : Bombay HC
Bombay HC rules that bail conditions cannot include deposit of Rs. 75 lakh bank guarantee or release of Rs. 1.89 crore to the complainant, as criminal courts lack authority to act as recovery agents in private fraud cases under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The judgment reinforces that bail conditions must align with criminal jurisprudence, not civil recovery mechanisms.
