Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the FIR No. 331 of 2018 under Section 376 and 506 IPC does not disclose a prima facie case as the parties had consensual relations for several years and the complaint arose from a broken promise to marry. The Court emphasized that such consensual relationships do not constitute an offence under Section 376 IPC, leading to the quashing of the FIR and all subsequent proceedings. Additionally, the disputes regarding financial transactions under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 were settled amicably, resulting in the dismissal of those proceedings as withdrawn.
