Case Law Analysis
|Bombay High Court
Circumstantial Evidence Alone Insufficient for Denial of Regular Bail Under BNS Section 103(1) | No Flight Risk or Antecedents Established: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court granted regular bail to an accused in a murder case where the prosecution relied solely on circumstantial evidence, with no proof of flight risk or criminal history. This reinforces that gravity of offense cannot override the presumption of innocence when direct evidence is absent and bail conditions are met, setting a critical precedent for pre-trial liberty under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
