Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting bail and suspending the sentence of life imprisonment awarded under Section 376 IPC for the conviction of the accused. The Court emphasized that the circumstances did not warrant such leniency, and thus, the appeal was accepted, the High Court's judgment was set aside, and the bail was canceled. The Court requested the High Court to expedite the disposal of the appeal.
