The judge noted the fact that the accused had at the very inception of their relationship, informed the victim that he was married and also had a daughter and thus had no intention to exploit her sexually or financially.
The Calcutta High Court recently set aside trial court s decision to convict under Section 417 of IPC a man accused of inducing a woman to have sexual relation with him on the promise to marry her.
The Court observed that the Investigating Officer had disbelieved the survivor's statement alleging rape, as he was interested in protecting both the accused from being charged with a serious offence.
The wife claimed that after marriage she became aware of the impotency and subsequently, also came to know that the husband's first marriage also ended due to this.
