Uttar Pradesh has implemented an ordinance that eliminates anticipatory bail for serious crimes, including rape, to uphold a zero-tolerance approach towards grave offenses. The amendment, part of the “Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (Uttar Pradesh Amendment), Ordinance 2024,” aims to prevent accused individuals from avoiding arrest and influencing evidence in cases involving severe crimes, marking a significant shift in the state’s legal approach.
