Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment regarding the gang rape case, emphasizing the prosecution's failure to present witnesses and the Special Public Prosecutor's absence. The Court directed the State of Rajasthan to pay Rs. 2 lakhs to the Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority and ordered an inquiry into the prosecution's conduct. The Court granted the State one last opportunity to conclude evidence by November 30, 2011, and mandated a day-to-day trial to be completed within six months, while dismissing the special leave petition.
