BNS Section 140(1) | Mere Presence at Scene Without Cogent Evidence Insufficient to Deny Bail : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court granted bail to an accused present at a liquor party where a death occurred, holding that proximity alone, without direct evidence of involvement or motive, cannot justify pre-trial detention under BNS 2023. This reinforces the presumption of innocence and sets a clear boundary for bail decisions in non-violent, circumstantial cases involving family members.
