BANSHILAL vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN — Crl.A. No. 1232/2001

Case Summary: Crl.A. No. 001232/2001 Outcome: The Supreme Court granted leave and disposed of the appeals by ordering the release of three appellants (Banshilal and two others) on bail. The appellants, facing trial for offences under Sections 366, 368, and 376 IPC read with Section 120B, had been in custody since November-December 2000 with repeated bail rejections. Conditions Imposed: The appellants were released on executing bonds with two solvent sureties, subject to stringent conditions: weekly reporting to police on Sundays, non-interference with witnesses or evidence, no delays in trial progress, and no threats or intimidation toward the prosecutrix or her family. Rationale: The Court considered that the main witness (prosecutrix) had completed examination-in-chief and cross-examination, making continued detention unnecessary while trial proceedings continued.
