The Allahabad High Court quashed rape proceedings based on an alleged false promise of marriage, ruling that a long-term consensual relationship between adults cannot later be treated as rape merely because the relationship did not culminate in marriage.
The Allahabad High Court held that when a married man promises marriage, the deceit begins from the very start. Refusing to quash proceedings under Section 69 BNS, the Court said such allegations must be tested during trial.
The Allahabad High Court has scheduled the next hearing in the long-running Krishna Janmabhoomi–Shahi Idgah mosque dispute in Mathura for December 12, a case that continues to draw national attention over ownership and historical claims to the sacred site.
