The Allahabad High Court granted bail in an SC/ST Act case, holding that a prolonged, voluntary relationship between the accused and the complainant-where both families were aware of the accused’s identity-renders the claim of religious or name concealment inherently improbable. This ruling reinforces that procedural allegations under the Act must align with lived reality, not just legal theory, protecting individuals from weaponized accusations in inter-caste relationships.
