Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal against the Rajasthan High Court's order dismissing a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing FIR No. 553 of 2006. The Court found the prosecutrix's statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. regarding being drugged and forced into marriage to be unbelievable, given her voluntary actions prior to the statement. Consequently, the Court quashed the FIR, holding that the High Court's view was unsustainable.
