Case No. 56 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 376/420 of the I.P.C., pending in the Court of learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gumla. On the pretext of marriage, petitioner is alleged to have established consensual physical relationship with the prosecutrix, who is a major lady aged about 25 years.
