The Delhi High Court has set aside a trial court order granting regular bail to a man accused of rape on a false promise of marriage, holding that the prosecutrix was entitled to be heard, and has sent the bail application back for a fresh decision within two weeks, without expressing a view on the merits.
The Supreme Court, On Dec 4, criticized the National Green Tribunal (NGT) for relying solely on a joint committee report without independent evaluation, highlighting a “glaring error.” The Court ruled that tribunals must thoroughly examine all evidence and allow parties to present their case, quashing the NGT’s order against M/s Grasim Industries for violating environmental norms.
