Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting bail and suspending the sentence of the accused convicted under Section 376 IPC for life imprisonment. The Court emphasized that the circumstances did not warrant such leniency and that the trial court's conviction should be upheld. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment, canceled the bail, and ordered the immediate custody of the accused.
