The Supreme Court while dealing with the above
subject observed
“The prosecution has been successful in proving
the case that from the very beginning the accused never intended to marry the
prosecutrix; he gave false promises/promise to the prosecutrix to marry her and
on such false promise he had a physical relation with the prosecutrix; the
prosecutrix initially resisted, however, gave the consent relying upon the
false promise of the accused that he will marry her and, therefore, her consent
can be said to be a consent on misconception of fact as per Section 90 of the
IPC and such a consent shall not excuse the accused from the charge of rape and
offence under Section 375 of the IPC"
