Section 302 IPC | Bail Granted Where Death Occurs After 1 Year Without Causal Link to Injuries : Allahabad HC

Allahabad High Court granted bail in a murder case where the victim died over a year after the incident, and post-mortem findings showed no direct causal link between the injuries and death. The ruling underscores that prolonged incarceration without proximate evidence of homicide may violate personal liberty under Article 21, setting a precedent for bail in delayed-death cases under Section 302 IPC.
