Granting Bail In Rape Cases – Is It Becoming A Weapon Against Survivors?




Aditi Goyal, Dharmashastra National Law University


ABSTRACT


This article talks about how giving bail to people accused of rape often harms survivors instead of protecting them. It explains that when such accused persons are released, they may threaten or hurt the victim again, making her scared to speak up. The paper highlights how India’s justice system fails to keep survivors safe because bail is granted too easily, even for such serious crimes. It discusses real cases, laws, and court decisions that show these problems. The author suggests that India should make stricter rules for granting bail in rape cases, learn from other countries, and focus on the victim’s safety first. The aim is to make justice real, not just a promise.
