Delhi High Court Upholds Discharge in Rape Case, Cites Scars of False Accusations

The Delhi High Court upheld the discharge of three men accused of sexual assault, with Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma noting that false accusations inflict lifelong scars on the wrongly accused. The court emphasized that such cases, where allegations are withdrawn without explanation, erode public confidence in the justice system designed to protect genuine victims. An FIR was registered in 2023 under sections for rape and causing hurt, with the complainant alleging she was lured and assaulted. The court considered a revised statement where the complainant withdrew some claims.
