Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted anticipatory bail to the appellant under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C. in connection with FIR Crime No.1192 of 2024 for offences under Sections 376 and 506 IPC. The Court noted the significant delay of almost eight years in filing the complaint and the complainant's failure to approach the Justice Hema Committee, which influenced its decision. The bail is subject to conditions imposed by the Trial Court, including the deposit of the appellant's passport and cooperation with the investigation.
