Section 528 BNSS | Father May Deposit Forfeited Surety Amount on Son’s Behalf While Abroad via Video Appearance : Punjab & Haryana HC

The Punjab & Haryana High Court has ruled that a parent may deposit a forfeited surety amount on behalf of their child who is abroad, provided the surety consents and appears through video conferencing. This clarifies procedural flexibility under BNSS for families navigating cross-border legal obligations, ensuring bail forfeiture mechanisms remain enforceable without requiring physical presence.
