Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Gujarat High Court's decision to grant furlough to the respondent, Narayan Sai, who was convicted of serious offences including rape and sexual assault. The court emphasized the need for a balanced approach in granting furlough, considering the nature of the crimes and the potential threat to society. Ultimately, the Supreme Court overturned the High Court's order, denying the furlough application and reinforcing the seriousness of the offences committed.
