Here's a quick rundown: A court decided not to drop charges against Mekala Anil Kumar, who was accused of serious crimes. The case will continue in a special court.
Mekala Anil Kumar, a 31-year-old bill collector, filed a request to stop the legal process against him. These charges were for cheating and repeated rape.
Anil Kumar's View: Anil Kumar's lawyer argued that the woman involved, an adult, knew what she was getting into with the relationship. They claimed the charges were false and should be dismissed.
Prosecutor's Stand: The lawyer for the State of Telangana argued that the woman did not agree to what happened. They said Anil Kumar allegedly took her to a friend's house, where she was given a drink that made her pass out. When she woke up, he told her they had been intimate and promised to marry her.
Judge Tirumala Devi Eada looked at the case and decided not to stop the ongoing legal process. She noted that the complaint clearly mentioned there was no agreement from the woman. The court found that the facts of a previous case mentioned did not apply here.
The case will continue in the Fast Track Special Court for Quick and Fair Trial of Rape and POCSO Act in Medchal. The court emphasized that the trial should happen quickly and fairly, without being influenced by its observations.
Anil Kumar doesn't need to attend every court date unless specifically required, but his lawyer must represent him. The court closed all pending miscellaneous applications related to this request.
