#Section 111 BNS

Rajasthan High Court holds that invocation of Section 111 BNS for organised crime requires at least one prior charge-sheet within the preceding 10 years, with cognizance taken by a competent court. The ruling sets a strict precondition for prosecuting organised crime under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, impacting bail jurisprudence and enforcement of anti-syndicate laws.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that mere facilitation of weapons in a murder case, without direct participation or corroborated evidence, does not justify pre-trial detention under BNSS. The decision underscores that uncorroborated disclosure statements alone cannot sustain prolonged custody, reinforcing bail protections for peripheral accused in organized crime.
