The Bombay High Court has canceled the release of Aakash Sandhi Bindu, who was previously allowed to go free by a lower court. The decision was made because of serious accusations and ignored evidence in the original decision to let him out.
The State of Maharashtra wanted to cancel the decision to let Aakash Sandhi Bindu go free, which was made by the Additional Sessions Judge at Dindoshi. He was originally allowed to go free because he was supposedly getting married soon, but the court now found that reason to be not good enough.
"The impending marriage of an accused is not a parameter for the grant of bail," stated Dr. Neela Gokhale, J.
The case involves accusations of serious crimes under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The prosecution pointed out several things that were ignored by the trial court:
An application was filed on behalf of the victim, which was allowed. The victim's statement described a terrifying experience, including being given a drink with drugs in it and being attacked by Aakash Sandhi Bindu and others.
The High Court found the lower court's decision to let Aakash Sandhi Bindu go free because of his marriage plans to be concerning. The court emphasized the seriousness of the crime and the need to look at all the evidence presented.
The High Court has ordered Aakash Sandhi Bindu to turn himself in within two days. The request to cancel his release has been resolved, and everyone involved is to follow the official copy of the order.
The court's decision highlights the importance of considering all evidence and the seriousness of the crime when deciding to let someone go free.
