The Supreme Court clarified that Section 480(3) BNSS applies only to offences punishable with imprisonment of 7 years or more (or specified serious offences). For offences punishable up to 7 years, such conditions cannot be imposed at all. Therefore, if such conditions were wrongly imposed, their violation cannot be a ground for cancellation of bail. The High Court's cancellation of bail solely on this basis was therefore legally unsustainable.
