Quick Summary: Five people asked to avoid going to court for a case from 2019. The judge said yes, but their lawyer must still be there.
The case, C.C.No.11409 of 2019, involves several people: Mrs. S Mary, SGG Nirmal Kumar, G David Ratna Kumar, Dinakar, and Mrs. Ruth Vijaya. They were facing charges along with another person in a court in Hyderabad.
The people, through their lawyer Mr. G. Ravi Chandran, wanted the court to let them skip attending the trial. They argued that they didn't need to be there unless specifically asked.
Justice Tirumala Devi Eada was in charge of the case. After listening to both the lawyer for the people and the Additional Public Prosecutor, Mr. Jithender Rao Veeramalla, the judge decided:
"The attendance of Mrs. S Mary, SGG Nirmal Kumar, G David Ratna Kumar, Dinakar, and Mrs. Ruth Vijaya is not needed before the trial Court, unless their presence is specifically required during the course of trial."
This means they don't have to show up unless the court specifically asks them to.
Even though they don't need to be there in person, the people must have their lawyer present at every court date. This ensures that the trial can continue without unnecessary delays.
The court's decision allows the people some flexibility, but they are still required to stay involved through their lawyer. This ruling was finalized on August 22, 2025, by Justice Tirumala Devi Eada, closing the request but leaving room for any necessary appearances in the future.
