Delhi High Court Dismisses PIL Challenging 'Further Investigation' Provision in BNSS Law
The Delhi High Court has rejected a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging a provision within the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The PIL argued that the 'further investigation' clause under Section 193(9) of BNSS, when read with Section 187(3), could indefinitely prolong an accused's detention, potentially curtailing default bail rights. Petitioners contended this lack of a fixed timeline made the provision unconstitutional. The court, however, dismissed the PIL, finding no merit in the challenge to the legal framework.
