Man Wanted To Marry Her, But Woman’s Mother Refused: Karnataka High Court Says Promise To Marry Was Not Deceitful, Grants Bail U/S 69 BNS
The Karnataka High Court granted regular bail to a man booked under Section 69 BNS after noting that the woman herself stated that he had approached her mother and expressed willingness to marry her, but her mother refused the proposal. The Court observed that Section 69 requires a promise to marry made without an intention to fulfil it; at the bail stage, the material did not indicate that the man lacked such intention. The Court also considered that he had been in custody since June 2026 and that most of the investigation was complete.
