In a recent ruling, the Madhya Pradesh High Court refused to grant bail to an accused whose name appeared in WhatsApp messages before his death, citing a prima facie dying declaration.
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has denied bail to an accused in a case where his name was found in WhatsApp messages exchanged prior to his death. The court cited the presence of a prima facie dying declaration as a key factor in its decision. The denial means the accused will remain in custody while the case proceeds. The ruling underscores the court’s stance on ensuring that bail is not granted when there is substantial evidence linking the accused to the alleged crime.
