#murder case bail

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to an accused in a murder case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, emphasizing that the lack of any bullet, tattooing, or exit wound in the post-mortem directly undermines the FIR's claim of a firearm attack. This ruling reinforces that bail cannot be denied solely on the basis of serious allegations when forensic evidence fails to corroborate them, setting a critical precedent for evidentiary scrutiny in BNS-era murder bail applications.

Supreme Court sets aside bail granted by Allahabad HC, ruling that gaps in an inquest report cannot nullify material evidence like FIR, post-mortem, and weapon recovery in serious offences under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The judgment reinforces that bail considerations must weigh all substantive evidence, not just procedural lacunae.

The Rajasthan High Court granted bail in a murder case despite the gravity of the charge, emphasizing that absence of conclusive CCTV evidence placing the accused at the scene, combined with no recovery of the alleged weapon, undermines the prosecution’s case. The ruling reinforces that judicial custody alone, without flight or tampering risk, cannot justify prolonged detention when evidentiary gaps persist - a critical precedent for accused in serious offences with circumstantial evidence.
