Anticipatory Bail | No Weapon or Pre-Meditation in Spontaneous Altercation Justifies Release Under BNSS: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court granted anticipatory bail to an accused in a fatal altercation where the FIR revealed no weapon, no prior enmity, and no pre-planning - affirming that mere inclusion in an FIR does not justify arrest when the incident arose from a sudden fight. This reinforces that personal liberty must prevail where the allegations lack indicia of organized violence under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
