Quick Summary: The court turned down a request to change a decision that sent back a bail application. Ravi Kumar, the person who made the request, now has to ask the Sessions Court for bail.
Ravi Kumar filed a case to challenge an order from October 17, 2025. This order, from a judge in Hyderabad, sent back a bail application submitted under Section 480 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
Ravi Kumar's lawyer, Sri S.M. Saifullah, argued that the judge made a mistake by not considering Ravi Kumar's freedom. They claimed the decision was made without proper judgment. The lawyer referred to a previous case from the Allahabad High Court, stating:
“There is no rule stopping a judge from granting bail in a case that needs to be tried by the Sessions Court, unless it is punishable with death or life imprisonment.”
The government lawyer, Sri M. Ramachandra Reddy, supported the judge's decision. He explained that since one of the charges needs to be tried by the Sessions Court, sending back the application was the right thing to do.
Judge Juvvadi Sridevi looked over the case and noted the charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, including Section 77, a serious charge that doesn’t allow bail. Since one charge needs a Sessions Court trial, the judge acted correctly by not accepting the bail application.
The court concluded:
“This Court finds nothing wrong or unusual in the order that was given.”
Ravi Kumar is advised to ask the Sessions Court for bail. The case is now closed, along with any other related requests.
The decision by Judge Juvvadi Sridevi highlights the importance of following the right procedures in cases involving serious charges that require trials in higher courts.
