Judgment text excerpt
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 did not warrant quashing the FIR at this stage. The Court emphasized that the FIR's contents must be considered, and a clear case was made out against the appellant.
