Section 482 BNSS | Gender and Minor Allegations Justify Anticipatory Bail for Woman Accused of Assault : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that anticipatory bail under BNSS 2023 can be granted to a woman accused of minor assault where allegations are limited and lack severity, reinforcing gender-sensitive considerations in pre-arrest liberty. The decision underscores that mere apprehension of arrest, coupled with the accused's gender and the nature of the offense, warrants protection under Section 482 BNSS.
