I am sorry, but the provided information is insufficient to create a case summary. The title "Section 20(5) in The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973" and "Union of India - Subsection" are not case titles. The date "25 January 1974" is also insufficient without a case name. To provide a proper summary, I need the actual case name (e.g., XYZ v. ABC) and a summary of the case content, including the facts, issues, arguments, and the court's decision. Please provide the necessary information.
