Section 69 BNS | Consensual Relationship Without Fraudulent Intent at Intercourse Not Punishable : Chhattisgarh HC Grants Anticipatory Bail
Chhattisgarh High Court rules that a consensual relationship, even if followed by refusal to marry, does not attract penal provisions under Section 69 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita unless fraudulent intent is proven at the time of intercourse. The court granted anticipatory bail, emphasizing that post-relationship conduct alone cannot establish criminal liability.
