Section 528 BNSS | Non-Willful Absence Due to Medical Emergency Cannot Justify Bail Cancellation : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that bail cancellation under Section 528 BNSS requires proof of wilful absence, not mere non-appearance. The court set aside bail cancellation where the accused's absence was due to a medical emergency involving his wife, emphasizing proportionality and the need for a bona fide explanation.
