Allahabad High Court Quashes Covid-19 Case Against Two Nizamuddin Markaz Attendees
The Allahabad High Court quashed criminal proceedings against two men accused of attending the Tablighi Jamaat gathering at Nizamuddin Markaz during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. The court found no concrete evidence that the individuals intentionally violated health orders or spread infection, noting their Covid tests were negative. The case, based on apprehensions and assumptions, was deemed falsely implicated amid early pandemic confusion. Charges under various sections of the IPC and epidemic laws were dismissed due to lack of proof.
