The applicant, Udit Shukla, was accused of rape under Sections 69, 351(3), 352 of B.N.S. by the victim, who alleged that he had established a physical relationship with her on the false promise of marriage. The applicant contended that the F.I.R. was a result of a broken relationship and that the victim had been in a consensual relationship with him for three years. The court considered whether the material on record made out a prima facie case of rape against the applicant. The victim claimed to be 28 years old and had been in a relationship with the applicant since 2021, but only lodged an F.I.R. when the applicant's father refused to accept their marriage proposal.
