Quick Summary: Mr. Nagaraj Guptha, a businessman from Telangana, is in trouble over claims of cheating and making threats. The court has told him to go to the police station and help with the investigation.
Mr. Nagaraj Guptha is facing some serious claims. The police in Hyderabad filed a case against him back in 2019. The charges are about breaking trust, cheating, and making threats. In simple terms, he's accused of tricking someone and threatening them.
Mr. Guptha's lawyer, Mr. Thomas Lloyd, wanted the court to cancel the case. He argued that Mr. Guptha didn't even know about the case until now. Plus, the crimes he's accused of have a jail term of less than seven years. Mr. Lloyd assured that his client is ready to help the police from now on.
The state, represented by Mr. Jithender Rao Veeramalla, disagreed. They claimed that Mr. Guptha has been avoiding the law since 2019. They said he shouldn't get any special treatment unless he turns himself in.
Justice Tirumala Devi Eada listened to both sides and reviewed the evidence. She decided not to judge whether Mr. Guptha is guilty or not, but she did order him to go to the police. He must meet with the Investigating Officer by September 6, 2025, and follow their directions.
"The petitioner shall submit his defense and cooperate with the Investigating Officer as and when required."
Mr. Guptha needs to provide all the information and documents the police ask for. The police, in turn, must follow the law while investigating. The court wrapped up the petition with these instructions.
