Section 528 BNSS | Bail Bond Forfeiture Requires Hearing Before Cancellation for Genuine Medical Absence : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that medical absence supported by hospital records cannot trigger automatic bail bond forfeiture under Section 528 BNSS without affording the accused a hearing. This reinforces natural justice in criminal procedure and protects accused persons from punitive measures based on unverified claims of non-appearance.
