MAHESHWAR TIGGA vs THE STATE OF JHARKHAND

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant for rape and other offenses under the IPC, affirming the lower courts' findings based on the evidence presented, including letters and photographs. The court noted that the prosecutrix was a minor at the time of the offense and that the appellant had failed to fulfill his promise of marriage, which was a significant factor in the case. The appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the legal principles surrounding consent and the implications of false promises in such cases.
