#Section 103 BNS

Rajasthan High Court grants bail under Sections 103(1), 3(5), and 105 of BNS, holding that absence of premeditation in a sudden quarrel and a post-mortem report failing to corroborate the cause of death warrant release. The ruling underscores that prolonged pre-trial detention is unjustified when prosecution evidence is inconclusive.

The Patna High Court ruled that an accused cannot be detained solely on the basis of a co-accused’s confessional statement when the accused is not named in the FIR and the confessor has already been granted bail. This reinforces that mere mention in a confession, without independent corroboration or direct involvement, cannot justify pre-trial custody under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, protecting individuals from speculative incarceration.
