BNS Section 123 | Bail Granted Due to Absence of Forensic Evidence and Completed Investigation: Punjab & Haryana HC

The Punjab & Haryana High Court granted bail under Section 123 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, emphasizing the lack of medical or forensic evidence to support allegations of intoxicant administration. The ruling underscores that prolonged detention without substantive evidence violates the accused's right to liberty under Article 21, particularly when custodial interrogation is unnecessary.
