[24/12, 17:38] Meta AI: The Supreme Court has clarified that Section 15A of the SC/ST Act guarantees victims an opportunity to be heard in court proceedings, but it doesn’t entitle them to a favorable outcome on every objection raised. This means that while victims have the right to participate and present their case, the court isn’t obligated to accept their submissions. ¹ ²

In a recent ruling, the Supreme Court emphasized that the victim’s right to be heard is mandatory, but it doesn’t require the court to provide a detailed adjudication of every objection. The court must provide the victim with a fair opportunity to present their case, and once that’s done, the statutory requirement is satisfied.

This decision highlights the importance of balancing the rights of victims with the principles of fair trial and justice.
