It directed the trial court to proceed with framing the charges accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>According to TOI, the High Court criticised the additional sessions judge\u2019s ruling, which suggested that the survivor\u2019s entry into the room implied consent. The court emphasised that the survivor\u2019s immediate complaint and emotional distress contradicted any assumption of consent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Even if it is accepted that the victim went inside the room along with the accused, the same cannot by any stretch of imagination be considered as her consent for sexual intercourse,\u201d the High Court stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe learned additional sessions judge has clearly mixed two aspects \u2014 going inside with the accused in a room without any protest, and secondly, giving consent for what happened in the room,\u201d <a ref=\"dofollow\" data-ga-onclick=\"Inarticle articleshow link click#News#href\" href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/topic\/justice-bharat-deshpande\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Justice Bharat Deshpande<\/a> added.<\/p>\n<p><!--\/include_growfast.cms?pagename=article&skipcss=1potime:2--><br \/>The court also noted that the complainant\u2019s immediate reaction after exiting the room\u2014crying, calling the police, and lodging a complaint\u2014indicated that the alleged act was non-consensual, said the TOI report.The accused had lured the complainant to the hotel under the pretence of meeting an agent who would offer her a job abroad. While it was true that both the accused and the complainant were involved in booking the room, the court emphasised that this did not equate to consent for sexual intercourse.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/bombay-high-court-rules-entry-into-hotel-room-with-a-man-is-not-consent-for-sex\/articleshow\/115353462.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court at Goa has ruled that the mere fact a woman enters a hotel room with a man does not imply consent to sex.
