The Delhi High Court has dropped all criminal charges against the Gautam Gambhir Foundation over alleged illegal stocking of COVID-19 medicines during the second wave. The court found no proof of black marketing or misuse of drugs distributed in public interest.
The Supreme Court of India, using Article 142, stopped criminal proceedings under IPC Section 498A, addressing mental cruelty by a wife against her ex-husband and relatives, filed six months post-divorce. The court highlighted the exhaustive consideration of the couple’s marital issues during divorce proceedings, deciding that perpetuating the legal battle through criminal proceedings would serve no constructive purpose.
