CHANDIGARH: The Punjab and
Haryana high court has held that
where allegations of rape emerged
during the subsistence of love affairs
between a couple, who subsequently
ties the nuptial knot, compromise in
the such cases could be allowed for
quashing the FIR against the
accused man
.
HC passed these orders recently
while allowing the petition of a boy
who was charged of rape by the girl
under pressure from her family
members. Later, the girl had married
the boy. "We are of the view that
ultimate trial of such case would
result in vacuum and continuance of
criminal proceedings would have
adverse effect on the matrimonial
relation of the couple," observed
Justice Raj Mohan Singh while
quashing the FIR in the rape case.

estimates — occurred due to
unseasonal rains this year.
The all India weighted average
rainfall between March 1 and April
15 was 96.6mm, more than double
the normal of 47.8mm. Over 80% of
the country received "excess" rains,
the data reveals, showing that the
wet weather has been both
widespread as well as sustained.
But what's likely to have impacted
crops even more is the fact that in
more than one-third of the country -

subdivisions - rainfall was more than
five times the normal figure.
Most of these impacted areas are in
