I presume the case is filed against u/s 188 of IPC. If so, this speaks about the acts of a 'public servant' and those found guilty under this. I have a query whether the complainant can be lawfully known as a 'public servant' and whether Mr.Siddartha be tried under this sec.??

"Central Government Act

Section 188 in The Indian Penal Code

188. Disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant.—Whoever, knowing that, by an order promulgated by a public serv­ant lawfully empowered to promulgate such order, he is directed to abstain from a certain act, or to take certain order with certain property in his possession or under his management, disobeys such direction, shall, if such disobedience causes or tends to cause obstruction, annoyance or injury, or risk of obstruction, annoyance or injury, to any person lawfully employed, be punished with simple impris­onment for a term which may extend to one month or with fine which may extend to two hundred rupees, or with both; and if such disobedience causes or trends to cause danger to human life, health or safety, or causes or tends to cause a riot or affray, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both. Explanation.—It is not necessary that the offender should intend to produce harm, or contemplate his disobedience as likely to produce harm. It is sufficient that he knows of the order which he disobeys, and that his disobedience produces, or is likely to produce, harm. Illustration An order is promulgated by a public servant lawfully empowered to promulgate such order, directing that a religious procession shall not pass down a certain street. A knowingly disobeys the order, and thereby causes danger of riot. A has committed the offence defined in this section."

Who has filed the FIR? The Police authorities cannot directly take cognizance of the offence because of the bar under the provisions of Section 195 CrPC:

Your post is without sufficient materials to discuss or to suggest. You did not provide any information on, who filed the case and why. Just take the note that any case carries it's own weight and it affects the career.
It seems, you have been booked for violating the Pandemic order in force! Be proactive to clear the case as fast as possible.
