Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the State of Kerala's special leave petition challenging the High Court's decision to quash proceedings against two nuns accused of disclosing the identity of a rape victim. The Court noted the significant delay since the incident in 2018 and expressed reluctance to revisit the matter under the changed circumstances. Consequently, the High Court's order was upheld, preventing further legal action against the respondents.
