Amar Bahadur Singh vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court held that the conviction under Section 376 IPC for rape was not sustainable as the prosecutrix, a 26-year-old mother of seven, was found to be a consenting party, which was corroborated by the High Court's observations. The Court noted the implausibility of the rape occurring in the presence of family members and concluded that the prosecution's case was fabricated to protect family honor. Consequently, the Court set aside the conviction and acquitted the appellant, discharging his bail bonds.
