flag Delhi High Court quashes rape and caste offense FIR over failed consensual relationship, citing lack of evidence and delay.

flag The Delhi High Court quashed an FIR alleging rape and caste-based offenses, ruling that a failed consensual relationship cannot be criminalized. flag The court, citing a five-month delay in filing the complaint, lack of medical evidence, and the complainant’s failure to produce her phone despite a notice, found the allegations lacked credibility. flag It noted the parties had a long-term relationship with ongoing affectionate communication, no evidence of coercion or marriage promises, and no caste-based motive. flag With no basis for prosecution, the court used its inherent powers to quash the FIR and all related proceedings.
