Section 438 CrPC | Anticipatory Bail Granted When FIR Lacks Individualized Allegations Against Accused Under SC/ST Act : Patna HC
The Patna High Court granted anticipatory bail to an accused in an SC/ST Act case where the FIR contained omnibus allegations against multiple persons without specifying any act attributable to him, reinforcing that blanket accusations cannot override the requirement for individualized scrutiny. This ruling strengthens the principle that mere association with a group does not equate to criminal liability under the Act, protecting innocent individuals from overbroad FIRs.
