Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chandrachud, JJ. upheld the bail granted to a rape offender by the Hon\u2019ble Hyderabad High Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the present petition, the learned bench of the Supreme Court Judges by emphasising on the essence of \u201cconsent\u201d in a sexual relationship heard the contentions of the parties and arrived on a decision. The accused was charged under Sections 376, 342, 493, 506 and 354 (C) of the Indian Penal Code for which he was granted anticipatory bail by the sessions judge which was further cancelled on the ground that the accused had hidden the fact of his involvement in the <em>2G Spectrum case <\/em>and the stated order was affirmed by the High Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court on receipt of the bail application filed by the accused had granted bail with a bond of Rs. 50,000.\u00a0 For the granted bail, the learned counsel of the appellant submitted that the allegations on the accused were of grave nature involving rape of an aspiring actress and on filing a complaint in that regard, she came across a large number of threats at her end in order to withdraw the filed complaint.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On considering the submissions of the parties, Supreme Court agreed and found \u201cno fault\u201d on the part of\u00a0 the High Court in granting anticipatory bail to the accused as the ground of the complainant in the issue was of rape, though it had been noted that the complainant had visited the accused on her own will which lead the Court towards the \u201cconsensual\u201d relationship between the complainant and the accused. Therefore, the Supreme Court without making any further delay in the present case stated that bail once granted should not be cancelled unless or a cogent case based on a supervening event is being made out. Further, bail granted was not cancelled, though the bond was modified to Rs. 10 lakhs.
