Section 376(2)(n) IPC | Delay in FIR & Consensual Relationship Do Not Negate Rape Charges : Chhattisgarh HC
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that unexplained delay in filing an FIR and a prior consensual relationship do not automatically disprove rape allegations under Section 376(2)(n) IPC. The court refused to quash the FIR, emphasizing that a prima facie case of deception through false promise of marriage must be adjudicated on merits.
