Section 483 BNSS | Gravity of Triple Fatality in Roof-Travel Bus Accident Justifies Bail Denial at Pre-Framing Stage : Punjab & Haryana HC
The Punjab & Haryana High Court denied regular bail to a bus operator whose negligence led to three deaths when passengers were allowed to ride on the roof, holding that the extreme gravity of the offense and the nascent stage of trial outweigh custody duration and unframed charges. This sets a precedent that fatal public safety violations, even without formal framing, can justify pre-trial detention under BNSS bail jurisprudence.
