|Rajasthan High Court
Bail Granted for Non-Violent Forgery Due to Unexplained 5-Year FIR Delay and Parity with Co-Accused | Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court granted bail in a forgery case where the FIR was registered five years after the alleged incident without any justification, and co-accused had already been released. This reinforces that prolonged, unexplained investigative delay and consistent treatment of similarly situated accused are decisive factors in bail decisions under BNSS Section 483, especially for non-violent, bailable offences.
