In a case involving charges under sections 506 and 509, the complainant has been intentionally absent from the last four hearings. This is because the accused claims to have intimate videos of the complainant. How long can the complainant avoid court appearances? Can the accused take action regarding this deliberate delay? What are the potential consequences if the complainant refuses to attend court proceedings?

Under Indian law, a complainant cannot indefinitely avoid court appearances, even if intimidated. The accused can seek a warrant for the complainant’s appearance, potentially leading to arrest. Continued refusal to attend court could result in dismissal of the case, jeopardizing the complainant’s legal rights.
