This is yet another case, reflecting the recent trend of lodging false complaints of sexual offences. Every false complaint of sexual offences not just causes immense damage to the person accused of the offence, but also creates cynicism and distrust across the society, which leads to even the genuine victims of sexual offences suffer, as society starts suspecting her truthful complaint also to be false. Such false complaints have to be dealt with sternly.
The High Court noted that the woman in her affidavit testified that she was living in a relationship with XXXX and had established physical relations with him with consent, and had lodged the complaint under the influence of some of his rivals.
The High Court was informed by the SHO that he has already initiated the process for registration of an FIR against the complainant woman and all those persons who allegedly conspired to make her lodge false complaint against the accused.
The High Court has granted the bail to the accused.
