    Case Summary: Sessions Case No. 18/2025 Court Decision: The accused, Prasanth K., was acquitted of all charges under IPC sections 376(2)(n) (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation), and 420 (cheating). The court found the victim's conduct—voluntarily traveling with and staying in hotel rooms with the accused across multiple trips—inconsistent with rape allegations, concluding the sexual acts reflected passive consent rather than non-consensual intercourse. Absent medical evidence and given the victim's failure to avoid harmful situations when opportunity existed, the prosecution failed to prove "against her will" and "without consent" elements required for rape conviction.
