casestatus.in Summary

Summary: The Supreme Court suspended Sultan Baba's life imprisonment sentence and ordered his release on bail pending final disposal of his criminal appeal. The appellant was convicted under IPC Section 376(2)(n) and POCSO Act Section 4, had exhausted his High Court appeal, and had already served approximately 13 years; the Court found sufficient grounds for bail considering his age (21 at time of offense) and case circumstances. Release is conditional on terms the trial court deems appropriate and subject to no other pending cases. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
