Section 483(3) BNSS | Non-Recovery of Dowry Articles Alone Insufficient for Anticipatory Bail Cancellation : Punjab & Haryana HC Reinforces Personal Liberty
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that mere non-recovery of dowry articles does not justify cancellation of anticipatory bail under Section 483(3) BNSS, absent violation of bail conditions or supervening circumstances. The judgment underscores that personal liberty cannot be curtailed without concrete evidence of misuse or obstruction of justice, setting a precedent for fair trial rights in dowry harassment cases.
