BNS Sections 318(4), 316(5) | Passive Benefit Without Active Participation Insufficient for Criminal Liability : Telangana HC Grants Pre-Arrest Bail

Telangana High Court rules that mere receipt of property via a disputed deed-without active involvement in the alleged offences-does not attract criminal liability under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The judgment clarifies that familial association or passive benefit alone cannot justify arrest, reinforcing the need for concrete evidence of participation in criminal acts.
