Stating that consent during sexual intercourse cannot be implied from the partner’s previous experiences, a Delhi court Wednesday rejected the anticipatory bail application of a Mumbai-based television journalist in a rape case.
The court further said that if a woman has stated in her evidence before the court that she did not consent, the court shall presume that she did not.
