Quick Summary: The court has decided not to stop the legal process against Jestadi Suman Deepak Raj. Instead, it has told the police to keep investigating with certain instructions.

Request to Stop Legal Process

Jestadi Suman Deepak Raj, who works in a private job in Ananthapuram District, asked the court to stop the legal process against him in Case No. 323 of 2025. This case involves supposed wrongdoings under certain sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

Arguments Heard

Justice Juvvadi Sridevi listened to the case. Jestadi's lawyer, Sri N.N. Somendra Reddy, argued to stop the case. On the other side, Sri Jithender Rao Veeramalla, representing the State of Telangana, argued for the government.

Request for Investigation Instructions

During the arguments, Jestadi's lawyer changed the focus. Instead of stopping the case, he asked the court to tell the police to keep investigating by sending a notice under a specific section of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which was earlier a part of another legal code.

"The person accused must give his side of the story and help the police officer whenever needed."

Court's Decision

Justice Juvvadi Sridevi chose not to discuss the details of the case. Instead, she told the police to go ahead with the investigation. The police have to send a notice to Jestadi Suman Deepak Raj and follow the rules set by the Supreme Court in a previous case.

Petitioner's Responsibilities

Jestadi Suman Deepak Raj needs to help with the investigation. He has to give the necessary information and documents to the police officer, who will review them before making a report to the court.

Summary of the Verdict

The court has given instructions to continue the investigation and has closed any additional requests related to this case. The investigation will keep going under the court's guidance.
