Section 103(1), 115(2), 118(1) BNS | Unexplained 5-Day FIR Delay and Lack of Premeditation Justify Bail: Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court granted bail in a homicide case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, holding that an unexplained five-day delay in filing the FIR, coupled with no evidence of premeditation, undermines the prosecution's credibility and negates the risk of evidence tampering. This sets a critical precedent for bail jurisprudence in BNS cases where procedural lapses cast doubt on the integrity of the complaint.
