Supreme Court Quarterly Digest 2026 - Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS)

Now this is the kind of news that shows up in passages, so let's break it down. Basically, the Supreme Court is looking at cases where people accused under tough laws like UAPA and PMLA are denied bail, even after being in jail for a really long time as undertrials. This specifically refers to an appeal against a Delhi High Court order that said no to bail. What this really means is the Court's examining the delicate balance between national security laws and an individual's fundamental right to life and personal liberty, guaranteed by Article 21. It also highlights how the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, or BNSS, plays into these criminal jurisprudence principles. Bottom line for the exam, remember the tension between security laws and Article 21, especially concerning prolonged incarceration.
