No Cogent Evidence of Financial Gain | Bail Granted Under BNS Sections 318(4), 316(2) & 338 for Job Fraud Allegations, Citing Article 21: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court granted bail in a job fraud case under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, holding that the absence of any credible evidence showing the accused received the alleged sum renders pre-trial detention disproportionate. This reinforces that Article 21’s right to liberty prevails over speculative accusations in non-violent economic offences, especially where cooperation is assured and custody has exceeded six months.
