Men have higher responsibility to prevent gender violence, silence needs to be broken: Gujarat HC

Not mandatory for convict to serve a particular part of jail term before suspension of sentence, says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of India clarified that it's not mandatory for a convict to serve a specific part of their jail term before their sentence can be suspended. This ruling was made while questioning the Gujarat High Court's decision, which had held that only the jail time served after conviction should be considered for suspension of a sentence. The case involved appellants who were sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and had already served over four years. The Supreme Court directed their release on bail pending appeal, criticizing the High Court's approach and emphasizing the lack of a fixed rule requiring a convict to serve a particular portion of their sentence before considering suspension.
