Rape Case Can't Be Quashed When Victim Has A Case That ‘Settlement' Was Made Under Threat and Coercion: SC

The victim had lodged a FIR alleging that her manager raped her by threatening to publish her nude picture he had with him. The Apex Court held that a rape case can’t be quashed when victim has a case that ‘settlement’ was made under threat and coercion.

The facts of the case are that the victim, a resident of Jodhpur, had come to Ahmedabad for employment and she met the accused, who is the Managing Director of the GSP Crop Science Pvt Ltd. After interview, she was appointed as his Personal Assistant in November 2014. When the victim was not well, the accused started visiting her residence and took her inappropriate photos when she was asleep. Thereafter, he began to blackmail her and exploit her on the threats of making her photos viral and to terminate her employment. As the financial condition of the victim was not stable, she did not disclose this to anyone. In December, 2014 the accused took the victim to Baroda for some work and after threatening to publish her nude pictures, committed rape on her.
