#no criminal record

The Allahabad High Court granted bail to an accused in a grievous stab injury case under the BNSS and Arms Act, emphasizing prolonged pre-trial detention and absence of prior criminal history as decisive factors. The ruling reinforces that trial delay and clean record can outweigh the seriousness of the charge when no risk of evidence tampering is established, setting a clear precedent for undertrials in non-POCSO grievous hurt cases.

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that absence of criminal antecedents and no risk of evidence tampering override the gravity of communal violence allegations under Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. The judgment reinforces that bail must be granted where prolonged detention lacks proportional justification, even in sensitive offences.
