Delhi HC had granted the man’s applicationThe Supreme Court on Friday rejected an appeal filed by a 22-year-old woman against a Delhi High Court order granting anticipatory bail to a Mumbai journalist whom she has accused of rape. Senior advocate Nitya Ramakrishnan, for the woman, submitted that the accused had absconded for 50 days. If a man and woman are in a room, the man makes a request and the woman complies with it, do we need to say anything more?” the court said at one point. But the Bench refused to delve on the question of consent, saying the petition before it only concerned the grant of anticipatory bail. The trial court, while rejecting his anticipatory bail plea, had said the court should presume in her favour.
