BNS Bail Jurisprudence | Mere Presence Without Overt Act Insufficient for Custody: Bombay HC Aurangabad Bench
Bombay HC grants bail under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita where the accused’s role in a mob assault was cursorily alleged without specific evidence of participation. The ruling reinforces that vague identification or mere presence at the scene does not justify detention, setting a precedent for parity in bail matters.
