Batlanki Keshav (Kesava) Kumar Anurag vs State Of Telangana 2025 INSC 790 - Rape Case Quashed
Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 - Section 482 - HC refused to quash criminal proceedings against accused - Allowing appeal, SC observed: Even assuming that the accused appellant retracted from his promise to marry the complainant, it cannot be said that he indulged in sexual intercourse with the de-facto complainant under a false promise of marriage or that the offence was committed by him with the de-facto complainant on the ground that she belonged to the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes community- The impugned FIR is nothing but a bundle of lies full of fabricated and malicious unsubstantiated allegations levelled by the complainant. The facts on record clearly establish the vindictive and manipulative tendencies of the complainant and these aspects have a great bearing on the controversy. (Para 30)
