I really feel helpless to make you understand the simple literal meaning of "Misrepresentation Of Fact". It is not because I'm unable to ... but ... it is because you dont want to. Please see below judgment for your reference:
Crl. M.A. No. 12865/09 in B.A. No. 2145/09
Promise is not a 'fact' within the meaning of the code (IPC). How can you simply define 'misrepresentation' and say it's rape! You really have a lethargic approach towards law. I would suggest you to STOP opining about my ability to be a lawyer. I know FAR MORE BETTER than you and have FAR MORE PRACTICAL approach than you.
The judgment you attached was given by Hon'ble Delhi High Court Single Bench Judge, which dealt with anticipatory bail. Case was that the girl was under an impression that when her parents had fixed her marriage with the accused and also when she has been formally engaged as well, so ultimately she would get married to the boy. There was not even a pinch of suspicion that the boy may not marry her in future. Hence the judge after going through the peculiarity rejected the bail application.
Above case is VERY DIFFERENT from the subject post. Here, @Author was NOT ENGAGED or even under any genuine impression that the boy would marry her. Her own words says she has 'voice recordings' of the boy to prove her point. It goes to show that she was very sure that the boy would not marry her in future that is why she kept on collecting proofs against him. She did not used the proofs to stop the boy. But now she is using them to marry the boy. What an irony! Poor guy! Still people like @Pallavi want to support her. Alas!
I feel the court was wrong in interpreting the statute in "Nikhil Parashar's" case.
If a person 'A' murders another person 'B', can the act of 'A' be excused at the option of 'B' ? A murder is a murder. Then how do you change the a pleasurable act into rape? Can pleasurable s*x be called as rape at the option of the girl? Hell NO!
Pallavi says I'm double standard! She is only mis-leading the readers. How am I confused? I clearly stated that there have to be different standards for different type of girls. If a girl is chaste she should behave like that. Sex before marriage does not show she is un-chaste but it certainly depicts the intellectual status of the girl. It shows that the girl is grown up enough to understand the morality and consequences of her acts. And if she is grown-up then she has all rights to think about her good and bad. Tomorrow there could be an advertisement which promises that if you use its beauty product you would look as fair as "Kate Winslet". But what if you use the products and turn as black as "Beyonce Knowles"? Could you claim any "Civil" damage?
Grow up @Pallavi.
