Judges: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE B.V. NAGARATHNA, HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
Judgment By: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE B.V. NAGARATHNA
Case Number: 1905/2025
Summary: Sandeep Singh Thakur's conviction was canceled by the Supreme Court after he married the woman who complained against him. The court used its special powers to make sure justice was served.
Sandeep Singh Thakur was found guilty by a judge in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. He was given a ten-year sentence for charges related to serious offenses and cheating. This was based on a complaint by a woman who said he had falsely promised to marry her.
On April 5, 2024, Sandeep's request to pause his sentence was turned down by the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Not giving up, he took his case to the Supreme Court.
During the appeal, the Supreme Court, led by Hon'ble Mrs. Justice B.V. Nagarathna and Hon'ble Mr. Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, saw a chance for the couple to make up. They suggested that Sandeep and the woman get married, which both agreed to do.
"We allowed temporary release for Sandeep. The marriage between the two happened on 22.07.2025, and they have been living together since then."
On December 5, 2025, the court used its special authority to cancel the conviction and sentence. They saw the original complaint as a misunderstanding because of delayed marriage plans.
Both families were pleased with the decision. The court also ordered that Sandeep should get his job back and be paid for the time he missed work within two months.
The conviction and sentence against Sandeep Singh Thakur were canceled after he married the complainant, resolving the issue amicably and allowing him to return to his normal life.
