% 06.11.2017 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the prosecutrix is major and is 29 years of age. She is working as a Lecturer. Petitioner and prosecutrix met sometime in the month of March, 2016. They became friends and subsequently fell in love. Thereafter, they started living together in a live-in relationship. Petitioner never extended any false promise of marriage to the prosecutrix. However, petitioner is still ready to marry the prosecutrix. It is contended that it is the prosecutrix who herself broke up with the petitioner when they were living together. Petitioner never asked prosecutrix for aborting the child and it is bald allegation levelled against him. Prosecutrix herself is confused about her relationship with the petitioner. It is contended that whatsapp messages exchanged between the petitioner and the prosecutrix do not indicate that petitioner had extended any false promise of marrying the prosecutrix.

petitioner. It is submitted that the petitioner had obtained consent of the prosecutrix on false promise to marry her.
