Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of bail conditions imposed in cases of sexual offences, emphasizing the need for sensitivity towards women's rights and the implications of such conditions. The court criticized the masculine perspective in judicial assessments of women's conduct and highlighted the necessity for a more equitable approach in legal proceedings. The appeal was allowed, and the court directed that High Courts and trial courts should avoid imposing prejudicial bail conditions in similar cases.
