Pranay Jana vs State Of West Bengal & Ors on 6 March, 2009
Reading the judgment in Uday's case as a whole, we do
not understand the Court laying down a broad proposition that a promise to
marry could never amount to a misconception of fact. That is not, in our
understanding, the ratio of the decision. In fact, there was a specific finding in
that case that initially the accused's intention to marry cannot be ruled out."
