Allahabad High Court Quashes Rape Case Citing Misuse in Consensual Relationship DisputePreviousNext

The Allahabad High Court, led by Justice Vivek Kumar Singh, quashed proceedings in a Gorakhpur rape case involving Sanjay Kashyap, citing concerns over misuse of criminal law in consensual relationships that later turn sour. The court emphasized that failed marriage promises do not constitute rape unless there was no intent to marry from the start. The case arose from a 2024 FIR where the complainant alleged intimacy following a marriage promise that was later denied by the accused.
