    Case Summary: APL 842/2025 The High Court of Bombay (Nagpur Bench) quashed FIR No. 433/2023 against Pradeep Kumar Gupta under IPC Sections 376(2)(n), 417, and 313. The court found that the consensual relationship between the applicant and the prosecutrix—both married persons living separately from their spouses—did not constitute rape or false promise of marriage, since neither had divorced their original spouses and neither alleged coercion regarding the consensual abortion. The court held that as the relations were entirely consensual between two adults, no criminal charges could be sustained. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
