Quick Summary: The court has told Miryala Shobha, Miryala Vikram Kumar, and M. Rupa to work with an ongoing investigation in a dowry-related case. They need to go to the police and bring necessary documents.
In this case, Miryala Shobha, Miryala Vikram Kumar, and M. Rupa tried to stop the legal actions against them. They were accused in Crime No.337 of 2025 by the Narkatpally Police Station. The charges include breaking certain laws under Sections 109(1) and 85 read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhitha, 2023, and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.
The lawyer for the petitioners, Sri G. Sanjeeva Reddy, argued to drop the charges. However, during the arguments, he asked the court to tell the police to give a notice under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) to the petitioners.
Justice Juvvadi Sridevi chose not to get into the details of the case. Instead, she told Miryala Shobha, Miryala Vikram Kumar, and M. Rupa to meet with the Investigating Officer by October 30, 2025. The officer will send a notice as per Section 35(3) of BNSS, and the investigation will continue following the Supreme Court's rules in the Arnesh Kumar case.
"The petitioners shall present their side and work with the Investigating Officer as needed by giving information and providing all important documents needed for the investigation."
Miryala Shobha, Miryala Vikram Kumar, and M. Rupa must work with the investigation by giving necessary documents and information. The Investigating Officer will look at their submissions before writing a report to the Magistrate. Any pending extra applications are now closed.
Justice Juvvadi Sridevi's order highlights the importance of following legal steps while making sure the petitioners can present their side of the story.
