Six years after pandemic, Allahabad HC quashes criminal proceedings against accused duo in Nizamuddin Markaz case
Six years after the COVID‑19 outbreak, the Allahabad High Court dismissed criminal charges against two Jaunpur residents linked to the Nizamuddin Markaz gathering. The men had been charged under the Disaster Management Act of 2005, the Epidemic Diseases Act of 1897 and additional offenses such as attempted murder. The court’s order effectively closed the case.
