MS. X versus MR. A AND OTHERS
Having considered the complaint, the restatement, medical reports and the doctor’s statement, the Court found material contradictions (including a falsified hospital admission) and that, even taking allegations at face value, there were no sufficient grounds to proceed for offences charged (in particular no prima facie showing of a false promise to marry bearing direct nexus to consent); continuation would amount to abuse of process and miscarriage of justice, therefore the High Court’s order quashing the proceedings under Section 482 Cr.P.C. was correct and should not be interfered with.
