They had exchanged letters and met frequently and the parents who were informed had consented to the marriage.
Later they had made arrangements to get married and Prasanna had bought jewellry worth Rs.50,000 to give as a gift to his girl friend.
However in 2002 the girl had begun to avoid him and had asked him to stop the affair as she had no intention of getting married to him.
Several requests by the boy and attempts by relatives of the two families to reunite the two had failed.
Prasanna produced in court as proof some of the letters written by the girl giving her consent to marry him.
He said he suffered severe pain of mind and embarrassment due to his girlfriend jilting him and estimated the damage caused to him at rupees five million and also wanted court to direct the girl to give him back the jwellery.
