Justice system can't be battleground for failed relationships: Orissa HC

QUASHING criminal proceedings initiated against a man accused of raping a woman on false promise of marriage, the Orissa High Court has held that the law does not extend its protection to every broken promise nor does it impose criminality upon every failed relationship.

Delivering the judgment in such a case, the single judge bench of Justice SK Panigrahi emphasised that quashing the criminal proceedings was necessary to protect the integrity of law and prevent it from being used to litigate personal disappointments or moral conflicts.
