Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 417 and 313 IPC, affirming the High Court's decision. The Court found that the appellant had induced the victim, PW-1, into a sexual relationship under the false promise of marriage, constituting cheating under Section 415 IPC. However, the Court reversed the conviction under Section 313 IPC, determining that the prosecution failed to prove that the abortion was conducted without the woman's consent, as the evidence indicated that consent was obtained prior to the procedure.
