The Supreme Court expressed concern over the misuse of criminal law in cases where consensual sexual relationships are later framed as sexual assault after they end. A bench led by Justices BV Nagarathna and R Mahadevan acquitted a man accused of rape, emphasizing that ending a relationship does not criminalize previously consensual acts. The court warned against weaponizing the law due to emotional discord, protecting personal liberty and reputation.
