The Bombay High Court bench at Aurangabad recently refused to quash the criminal proceedings under charges of rape and the stringent SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against a man, who didn't marry a woman on the ground that she belonged to a lower caste. The HC said that the man's promise to marry her and then indulging into sexual intercourse amounted to a "false promise."
