BNSS Section 35(3) | Mandatory Notice Before Arrest Extends to Spouses Under Parity Principle : Meghalaya HC Grants Anticipatory Bail
The Meghalaya High Court ruled that Section 35(3) of the BNSS, which mandates prior notice before arrest for offences punishable up to seven years, applies equally to spouses implicated alongside the primary accused. The court emphasized the parity principle, ensuring similar relief for co-accused already granted bail, reinforcing procedural safeguards in non-bailable offences.
