Final Orders / Judgements
Summary of Case 472/2025 (Kumar Vaibhav v. Baffel Academy Pvt Ltd) The Delhi Additional Sessions Judge dismissed Kumar Vaibhav's revision petition challenging a summoning order dated 08.08.2024 in a defamation case (IPC §500/34). Vaibhav argued he was denied a hearing as required by Section 223(1) of the Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita (BNSS), 2023. The court held that since the complaint and pre-summoning evidence were instituted and conducted under the 1973 Code of Criminal Procedure (before BNSS came into force on 01.07.2024), Section 531 BNSS's Repeal and Savings Clause applied—pending inquiries must continue under the old code as if BNSS had not come into force. The court rejected the argument that procedural protections under BNSS could apply retroactively to an ongoing pre-BNSS proceeding, ruling that procedural laws are prospective, not retrospective. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
