BNSS Section 483 | Arnesh Kumar Guidelines Apply to Cow Slaughter Offences: MP HC Mandates Bail Compliance for JMFC-Triable Cases

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that the Supreme Court's Arnesh Kumar guidelines on arrest and bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) extend to cow slaughter offences under the M.P. Govansh Vadh Pratishedh Adhiniyam. The court emphasized that undue delay in trial initiation and lack of evidence tampering risks justify bail, reinforcing procedural safeguards for accused in JMFC-triable offences.
