#non-arrested accused

Rajasthan High Court directs trial courts to release accused on bail the same day if a charge-sheet is filed without arrest, reinforcing the right to speedy investigation under Satender Kumar Antil and Ashok Kumar precedents. The ruling applies specifically to corruption cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act, ensuring non-arrested accused are not subjected to unnecessary detention.

The Allahabad High Court ruled that a bone-deep lacerated head wound meets the threshold for grievous hurt under BNSS Section 110, even without a skull fracture, affirming that the charge is not contingent on radiological evidence. It further directed non-arrested accused to apply for bail within three weeks, reinforcing the Satender Kumar Antil framework to prevent custodial overreach in non-violent, non-flight-risk cases.
