Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's petition to quash FIR No. 272 of 2019 under Sections 376(2)(n) and 506 IPC, affirming that the allegations of forceful sexual relations and threats made by the complainant were sufficient to constitute cognizable offences. The Court found that the relationship was not consensual, rejecting the appellant's claims of inconsistencies in the complainant's statements. The ruling emphasized the importance of the complainant's testimony under Section 164 CrPC in establishing a prima facie case against the appellant.
