Vinod Gupta vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of a petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing an FIR registered under Sections 376(2)(n) and 506 IPC, ruling that the allegations of rape on false promise to marry were substantiated. The Court noted significant discrepancies in the complainant's statements, particularly regarding her marital status and the timeline of events, but concluded that these issues did not warrant quashing the FIR at this stage. The Court emphasized that the contents of the FIR must be considered, and a prima facie case against the appellant was established.
