Justice Juvvadi Sridevi has made a decision in the case involving Syed Hameed Ali and Syed Habeeb Ali. They no longer have to show up in court unless they are specifically needed. Here's what happened.

Petitioners' Request to End the Case

Syed Hameed Ali and Syed Habeeb Ali, both accused in a case, asked the court to stop the ongoing case against them. This means they wanted the case to be dropped.

Change in Petitioners' Request

During the discussions, their lawyer, Sri Ahmed Khan, changed the request. Instead of asking to drop the case, he asked if Syed Hameed Ali and Syed Habeeb Ali could avoid attending court sessions.

Court's Decision on Attendance

Justice Juvvadi Sridevi decided that Syed Hameed Ali and Syed Habeeb Ali don't need to be in court for every session. However, their lawyer must be there each time. If the court specifically asks them to be present, they have to attend.

"This Criminal Petition is disposed of dispensing with the appearance of the petitioners-accused Nos.1 and 2 before the learned trial Court unless their presence is specifically required during the course of trial."

What Happens If They Don't Follow the Rules?

If Syed Hameed Ali and Syed Habeeb Ali don't show up when the court asks, this decision will be canceled, and they might have to start attending all sessions again.

Summary of the Verdict

The court decided that Syed Hameed Ali and Syed Habeeb Ali don't need to attend every court session, but they must follow the rules. Their lawyer has to attend all sessions, and they must be present if the court specifically asks for them. This decision is effective immediately, as noted on October 10, 2025.
