The Madhya Pradesh High Court, led by Justice Achal Kumar Paliwal, granted anticipatory bail to a man accused of raping a teacher under the guise of marriage, citing a lack of prima facie evidence and a long-standing relationship. The court highlighted delays in filing the FIR and the prosecutrix’s background as significant factors.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a rape case against a man, citing the woman’s prolonged association and physical relationship with him as an indication of her consent [Prashant v. State of NCT of Delhi].
