Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court overturned the Gujarat High Court's decision to grant furlough to the respondent, who was convicted of multiple serious offenses including rape and sexual assault. The Court emphasized the need for a careful assessment of the implications of granting furlough to individuals convicted of heinous crimes, highlighting the potential risk to society. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Gujarat was allowed, and the furlough order was set aside.
