Anticipatory Bail Granted Where Spousal Association Alone Lacks Prima Facie Criminal Link | Section 438 BNSS : Bombay HC Aurangabad
The Bombay High Court granted anticipatory bail to a wife not named in the FIR as a recipient of funds, holding that mere marital connection to an accused cannot substitute for direct evidence of criminal participation. This reinforces that liberty cannot be curtailed based on association alone under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, setting a critical safeguard for non-involved family members in financial crime cases.
