Judge Tirumala Devi Eada has made an important decision in the criminal case filed by two people who wanted to stop the legal actions against them. Here's a breakdown of what happened.
Patloori Raju and Patloori Praveen, both farmers from Medak District, Telangana, were accused of several serious actions. These include charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the SC ST POA Act. The crimes are serious, but the punishment is less than seven years.
At first, Raju and Praveen wanted the case against them thrown out. However, during the discussions, their lawyer asked for the police to continue the investigation but with proper notice, according to Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
"The petitioners asked for the police to keep investigating," explained their lawyer.
The lawyer representing the State didn’t have any problems with this request. This agreement between both sides helped things move forward smoothly.
Judge Tirumala Devi Eada decided not to look into the details of the case. Instead, she told the petitioners to meet the Investigating Officer by September 5, 2025. The Officer must follow specific steps during the investigation.
"The Investigating Officer is directed to follow the rules outlined under Section 35 (3) of the BNSS," ordered the court.
The petitioners have to fully cooperate with the investigation. This means providing necessary documents and information when asked. The court emphasized that the investigation should be completed strictly according to the law.
The court closed the case with these instructions, and there were no extra costs ordered. This case shows the importance of following legal steps and ensuring fair investigations.
