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.

The Supreme Court has clarified that the power exercised by a Magistrate under Section 156(3) CrPC is at the pre-cognizance stage. Therefore, the requirement of prior sanction under Sections 196 and 197 CrPC applies only at the stage of taking cognizance, not at the stage of directing registration of FIR or investigation.
