Prolonged Custody and No Flight Risk Override Gravity of BNS Offences | Regular Bail Granted : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court granted regular bail to an accused charged under Sections 121(1), 132, and 109 of the BNS 2023, holding that the duration of pre-trial detention and lack of flight risk outweigh the seriousness of the allegations. This reinforces that even in grave cases under new statutes, bail cannot be denied solely on the basis of offence severity without evaluating individual circumstances.
