Breach of promise and false promise - acquittal of the accused


16-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
I saw a judgement given by a lower court, where they had acquitted the person from the crime, saying that the it doesn't fall under the false promise rather its a breach of promise (reference to the case - Pramod Suryaban Pawar Vs. State of Maharastra was taken), as the accused parents were against the marriage due to the caste difference, hence its a clear case of breach of promise, which is not punishableIn this case, does the women have no rights/justice of her own ? when she believed that they shall be marrying, and had physical relationship. Does it not amount to rape ? can't such judgements be appealed, after a period of 6-7 months?

That’s just the judgement of the sessions court and needs to be appealed. If there was a physical relationship and the boy is denying marriage due to any reasons then he will be punishable under section 376. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

jugement can very much appealed ..... the party appealing must have some locus standi to file the same.... the case will be argued in length and verdict will be given accordingly .....always remember no two cases are same as facts of each case are different with one another.... so each case will be decided on its own facts .....
