Bangalore High court express concern against misuse of Law in "Live-in" consensual relations

A Karnataka HC judge flags a troubling trend: After consensual relationships end, allegations of a “false promise of marriage” are being weaponised to invoke Section 69 of the BNS.

Judge warns against criminal law being used as a post-breakup pressure tactic. Says cops cannot mechanically register serious charges carrying up to 10 years’ imprisonment without careful scrutiny.
