Section 483 BNSS | Bail Granted Where Accused Absent from FIR and No Direct Role Established : Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court granted bail to an accused not named in the FIR, holding that mere presence during investigation without direct involvement in the alleged cow slaughter offense cannot justify prolonged pre-trial detention. This reinforces that procedural irregularities in accusation, not just evidentiary weakness, trigger bail protections under the new BNSS framework, benefiting thousands facing similar over-inclusion in U.P. cow slaughter cases.
