Here's a breakdown of the recent court decision involving two businessmen, Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain, who wanted to cancel a criminal case against them.
Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain asked the court to cancel Crime No.170 of 2025, which was recorded at Madhapur Police Station, Cyberabad. They said they were wrongly accused in the case.
Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain's Stand: Their lawyer, Mr. B. Chinnappa Reddy, argued that there were no direct accusations against them. The complaint mainly accused Vinay Jain of the assault, and they were supposedly not involved.
Prosecutor's Response: The prosecutor, Mr. Jithender Rao Veeramalla, argued that the complaint clearly said Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain helped Vinay Jain in the assault. He asked for the request to be rejected.
Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain were accused under Sections 127, 118 (1), 352, and 351 (2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. These sections involve crimes that can lead to imprisonment for less than seven years.
Judge Tirumala Devi Eada decided not to cancel the case. Instead, she said the investigation should continue following the Supreme Court's guidelines in the Arnesh Kumar case. Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain must cooperate, provide necessary documents, and help with the investigation as needed.
"The Investigating Officer shall consider the petitioners' defense and complete the investigation strictly in accordance with law."
The court's decision means the case will continue, and Shaik Abdul Aslam and Sanket Jain will need to cooperate with the investigation.
