Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the shortcomings of the prosecution in a gang rape case, emphasizing the need for timely justice. The Court directed the State of Rajasthan to pay Rs. 2 lakhs as costs to the Rajasthan State Legal Services Authority due to the prosecution's reprehensible conduct. The Court mandated the Fast Track Court to conduct the trial on a day-to-day basis and conclude it within six months, setting aside the High Court's orders and allowing the petitioner to seek bail from the Trial Court.
