Highly Commendable Observation by Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court: Dr. Anthony Raju, Advocate \u2013 Supreme Court & Chairman, Indian National Human Rights Protection <\/p>\n\n\n\n
CouncilNew Delhi, May 15, 2025 \u2013 Dr. Anthony Raju, a prominent Advocate of the Supreme Court and Chairman of the Indian National Human Rights Protection Council, has hailed the recent decision of the Hon\u2019ble Supreme Court as \u201chighly commendable and sensitive to the evolving nature of justice.\u201dThis comes in the context of the Supreme Court\u2019s order on Thursday, suspending the 10-year sentence of a man convicted of rape on the false promise of marriage, after both the man and the woman expressed their mutual willingness to marry each other.Dr. Raju emphasized:> \u201cThe Hon\u2019ble Court\u2019s observation reflects a pragmatic and humane approach to justice. It acknowledges the evolving nature of relationships and the importance of consent and mutual agreement. Such sensitivity, when balanced with judicial prudence, strengthens public trust in our legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dEarlier, on September 5, 2024, the Jabalpur Bench of the Madhya Pradesh High Court had rejected the man’s application under Section 389(1) CrPC for suspension of sentence, prompting him to approach the Supreme Court.Dr. Raju added that the ruling sends a message that while the law must uphold accountability, it must also be responsive to the realities of human relationships, especially where both parties are consenting adults seeking a fresh beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
