Section 483 BNSS | Bail Granted Under U.P. Gangsters Act Where No Prior Record and No Risk of Witness Tampering : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that absence of a prior criminal record and no credible threat to witness integrity are sufficient grounds for bail under the U.P. Gangsters Act, even for serious allegations. This clarifies that Section 483 BNSS permits judicial discretion in pre-trial detention when the state fails to demonstrate a real risk to investigation, benefiting first-time accused in gang-related cases.
