Summary: The court decided that N Ashok Kumar doesn't need to keep appearing for questioning in the EAMCET exam paper leak case, as there's no evidence of his involvement.

Petitioner Tired of Unnecessary Calls

N Ashok Kumar, a 66-year-old from Hyderabad, filed a formal request to the court because he was being called repeatedly by the police for questioning about the EAMCET exam paper leak. He claimed he wasn't involved and found the repeated calls unfair and a violation of his rights.

"The inaction of the respondents for calling the petitioner continuously...is arbitrary, illegal, and a violation of Articles 14, 19(1)(g), and 21 of the Constitution of India."

Court Hears Both Sides

Judge N. Tukaramji listened to both Mr. D. Vijaya Kumar, the lawyer for Ashok Kumar, and Mr. R. Laxmikanth Reddy, the Assistant Government Lawyer for the other side. The government lawyer argued that there wasn't any evidence against Ashok Kumar.

No Evidence, No Need to Keep Petition

The court looked at the evidence and saw no reason to keep the case open. Judge Tukaramji said that Ashok Kumar could reopen the case if any new issues come up.

"The rights of the petitioner are expressly reserved to seek revival of this petition by filing an appropriate application."

Summary of the Verdict

The court closed the case, saying there were no costs involved. Ashok Kumar doesn't need to worry about further questioning unless new evidence appears. The court made it clear that his rights are protected if anything changes.
