Section 479 of BNSS, 2023 addresses maximum detention periods and bail provisions for undertrial prisoners. Statement 2 is substantially correct—general principle of release after half detention for ordinary offences. Statement 3 is correct—the section excludes death and life imprisonment offences from the automatic bail provisions. Statement 4 is correct—BNSS provides that first-time offenders with life imprisonment charges get release after one-third detention. Statement 1 is incorrect because Section 479 provides maximum detention limits and mandatory bail provisions to prevent indefinite detention. Statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct.
