Section 528 BNSS | Bank Guarantee for Sapurdari Release Must Be Proportionate to Accused’s Financial Capacity : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court reduced a Rs.8 lakh bank guarantee for vehicle release on sapurdari to Rs.4 lakh, holding that excessive financial conditions defeat the purpose of interim relief when the vehicle is not essential evidence. This sets a critical precedent for courts to assess proportionality and economic feasibility before imposing bail-like conditions under the new BNSS framework.
