The Gujarat high court has refused to quash rape charges against a man even after the victim filed an affidavit and gave her consent to quash the FIR lodged by her.
The HC rejected the quashing petition because the rape survivor told the court that the relationship was not consensual and that she was given her consent for quashing of the FIR under the influence of the family members.
The case was from Devbhoomi Dwarka district. On April 15, Jamkhambhaliya police registered an FIR for rape at the instance of a married woman. Within a month of filing of the complaint, the accused managed to convince the victim to withdraw her complaint by involving the family members. With the consent petition filed by the accused in the high court, the victim filed an affidavit granting her consent for junking the FIR.
