The State Mundgod Police station Mundgod vs Varuna Yane Omkar Basavaraj Gadag — 255/2025

Case Summary: CC 255/2025 Outcome: Bail granted to accused nos. 1-3, 5, and 6 under Section 480 B.N.S.S. The court held that although the alleged offences (under Sections 132, 121(1), 118(1), 109, and 3(5) BNS) are non-bailable, they are not punishable by death or life imprisonment, and prosecution's apprehensions about witness intimidation or absconding can be addressed through stringent bail conditions. The court applied the cardinal rule that "bail is a rule and jail is an exception," rejecting pretrial detention and upholding the presumption of innocence. Conditions: Each accused must execute a personal bond of Rs. 1,00,000 with two sureties, appear regularly in court, not threaten witnesses, tamper evidence, or contact the complainant.
