Section 430 BNSS | Temporary Suspension of Sentence Granted for Last Rites of Deceased Parent : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that the fundamental right to perform last rites under Article 21 justifies temporary suspension of a convict’s sentence under Section 430 of the BNSS, even for NDPS Act convictions. This sets a humanitarian precedent for compassionate bail in cases involving immediate family death, balancing penal consequences with cultural and constitutional dignity.
