The Bombay High Court has observed that merely because a girl is friendly with a boy, it does not allow the boy to construe it as her consent to establish a sexual relationship with her and rejected the pre-arrest bail plea of a man accused of impregnating a woman under the pretext of marriage. The observation was made by a single bench presided over by Justice Bharati Dangre in an order passed on June 24.
