Section 483 BNSS | Mere Pendency of Unconvicted Criminal Antecedents Cannot Deny Bail for Magistrate-Triable Non-Bailable Offences : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that unconvicted pending cases, no matter their number, cannot justify denial of bail under Section 483 BNSS when the alleged offence is triable by a Magistrate. This reinforces the presumption of innocence and prevents pre-trial detention from becoming punishment by association, directly impacting accused persons in low-gravity criminal cases facing prolonged investigations.
