Is it necessary to hear victim before grant of anticipatory bail to accused? Supreme Court to examine
A man accused of rape has challenged the Kerala High Court's decision to set an order granting him anticipatory bail, on the sole ground that the victim was not heard before the relief was granted to him.
The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to examine the issue of whether the complainant or the victim in a rape case must be issued notice and heard before granting anticipatory bail to an accused [Suresh Babu KV v. State of Kerala].
