BNS Section 69 | Concealment of Marriage & Post-FIR Misconduct Bar Anticipatory Bail : Delhi HC

Delhi High Court denies anticipatory bail under BNS Section 69 where the accused not only induced sexual relations under a false promise of marriage but also concealed his existing marriage and fathered two children with the prosecutrix. The court emphasized that post-FIR attempts to mislead the court further disqualified the accused from bail, setting a precedent for evaluating deceptive consent cases beyond mere false promises.
