In 2021 A (LW1) raised a complaint in PS and a case was filed against B u/s 507 with a witness (LW2) and no evidence or seizure of evidence was there. the case ran for 4 years and now LW1 & LW2 gave letters addressed to the Court saying that they are having health problems and unable to attend the court and requested to close their witness evidence and oblige. what will be the court's view ?

The court will continue the prosecution of the case by examining other listed witnesses.

Thank you sir. Complainant (LW1) and only one witness (LW2) are there in the above case. both gave letters that due to health reasons they are not able to attend the court and requested to close their witness evidence and oblige. Only Investigating Officer is left. what will be the court view in this ?

Since complainant and his witness are material witnesses in case and if they do not depose their statement then their case will not be deemed proved and will likely to be fatal.

The court will examine the IO and based on merits, it may dispose the case.

Which Act is referred in the query qua section 507 i.e., IPC or BNSS since both of them are totally differnt?

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 10 November 2025
Thank you very much Sir. This is u/s 507 of IPC.

Section 507 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication. It is an aggravating section to Section 506 IPC, which outlines the general offense of criminal intimidation. This means it applies when an act of criminal intimidation is committed anonymously or by a person taking steps to hide their identity.
The court will hear the evidence of the IO before disposing the case.

The Court can not convict accused u/sec 507 of IPC solely on the statement of Investigating Officer ( I.O ) if the complainant does not depose.The complainant's testimony is crucial peice.of evidence in such case.

The facts posted are incomplete and disjointed, which are declared when asked by expert(s).
Section 507 IPC qua intimidatioon by sending anonynous (concealing identity) threat(s) to the complainant cannot be tried alone on the statement /report of IO.
It is better to consult a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of facts, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
