Section 420 IPC | Mere Name-Lending Without Mens Rea Insufficient for Bail Denial : Chhattisgarh HC
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that passive use of a bank account without personal gain or fraudulent intent does not establish prima facie guilt under Sections 420/409 IPC, granting bail in a Rs. 25.58 lakh online fraud case. The judgment reinforces that mens rea is a critical element for bail denial in cheating offenses.
