Supreme Court Rules Default Bail Not Applicable for Missing Chargesheet Copies
The Supreme Court ruled that accused individuals cannot claim default bail solely due to the investigating agency's failure to provide additional copies of the chargesheet, as long as the chargesheet itself is filed within the statutory 60- or 90-day period under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS). The court clarified that default bail arises only when the chargesheet is not filed on time, and procedural lapses in supplying copies do not affect this right. The judgment was delivered in a case involving cyber extortion investigated by the CBI.
