Red-Handed Arrest Under PCA & BNS Not Automatic Bar to Bail | Clean Antecedents & Completed Investigation Justify Relief : Patna HC
Patna High Court rules that mere red-handed arrest in a corruption case under the Prevention of Corruption Act and Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita does not disqualify an accused from bail, especially where the investigation is complete and the accused has clean antecedents. The ruling reinforces that bail decisions must consider individual circumstances beyond the arrest itself.
