- 1Section 480 of BNSS provides that the mere fact of requiring an accused for witness identification or police custody beyond fifteen days is not sufficient grounds to refuse bail, which contrasts with Section 437 of Cr.PC where such conditions do not affect bail decisions.✓
- 2Under both Section 437 of Cr.PC and Section 480 of BNSS, bail can be refused solely based on the need for the accused to be identified by witnesses during the investigation.
- 3Section 437 of Cr.PC allows bail to be granted to a child, woman, or infirm person even if there are reasonable grounds to believe they are guilty of a non-bailable offence punishable by death or life imprisonment, while Section 480 of BNSS does not specifically mention these categories of people.
- 4Under Section 437 of Cr.PC, a court may deny bail to a child, woman, or infirm person if there are reasonable grounds to believe the accused is guilty of a non-bailable offence punishable by death or life imprisonment, whereas Section 480 of BNSS provides that such persons are eligible for bail under similar circumstances.
