Section 482 BNSS | Anticipatory Bail Permissible in Intimate Photo Circulation Cases If No Prior Record & Content Is Suppressed : MP HC Jabalpur

The Madhya Pradesh High Court grants anticipatory bail to an accused who shared intimate photos of a former partner, ruling that circulation alone does not disqualify bail - provided the accused undertakes to delete all copies and cease further dissemination. This sets a critical precedent for digital privacy rights in consensual relationship disputes under the new BNSS framework, balancing victim protection with presumption of innocence.
