Section 14A(2) SC/ST Act + Section 351(2) BNS | Minors Without Direct Allegations or Weapon Use Entitled to Anticipatory Bail : Karnataka HC

Karnataka High Court rules that minors accused under the SC/ST Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita are entitled to anticipatory bail if no direct allegations or weapon involvement are proven, especially after charge sheet filing. The ruling reinforces safeguards against custodial interrogation for juvenile appellants in atrocity cases.
