Prabhu @ Kulandaivelu vs State of Tamil Nadu

Bench: 2 — Banumathi

In Brief

Prabhu @ Kulandaivelu was convicted for inducing a woman to have sexual intercourse under false promise of marriage and for causing her miscarriage without consent. The Supreme Court confirmed his conviction under Section 417 IPC (cheating), holding that evidence proved he falsely promised marriage. However, it set aside the Section 313 IPC conviction (causing miscarriage without consent) because medical evidence showed the victim's consent was obtained before the termination procedure. The Court found no evidence linking the appellant to the victim's pre-existing medical condition.
