#Section 482(2)

Jharkhand High Court ruled that a businessman with no criminal antecedents, income tax compliance, and ₹6 crore in bank loans merits anticipatory bail despite allegations based solely on co-accused statements. The judgment underscores that financial credibility and a clean record can outweigh uncorroborated accusations in bail considerations under Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.

The Punjab & Haryana High Court ruled that the mere failure to recover dowry items does not justify pre-trial detention, emphasizing that bail decisions must be grounded in evidence of flight risk or tampering-not unproven allegations. This clarifies that financial or domestic disputes under BNS cannot override the presumption of innocence in anticipatory bail proceedings, protecting accused persons from punitive detention without trial.
