IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD
T. Madhavi Devi, J
Bandi Sai Bageerath – Appellant
Versus
State of Telangana – Respondent
CRIMINAL PETITION No.7805 of 2026



Important Points

A petition for anticipatory bail becomes infructuous and is liable to be withdrawn once the petitioner surrenders and is remanded to judicial custody, as the relief sought no longer survives.

Subject

Criminal Law - Bail

Headnote

The petitioner filed a criminal petition seeking anticipatory bail in connection with an FIR. After the court reserved the matter for orders, the petitioner surrendered before the police authorities and was subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Consequently, the petitioner sought to withdraw the petition as the cause for the relief no longer survived. The primary issue was whether the petition for anticipatory bail remained maintainable following the petitioner's surrender and remand. The court observed that since the petitioner had already been remanded to judicial custody, the prayer for anticipatory bail had become infructuous. The Criminal Petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to pursue the regular bail application.

“ It is respectfully submitted that the above captioned criminal petition bearing Crl.P.No.7805 of 2026 was filed seeking granting of Anticipatory Bail to the Petitioner in connection with FIR.No.684 of 2026, on the file of P.S.Pet Basheerabad, Cyberabad.

2. That on 15.05.2026, this Hon’ble Court was pleased to reserve the Criminal Petition for Orders, however, on 16.05.2026, the Petitioner surrendered before the concerned police authorities, whereupon the Police Authorities have produced the Petitioner before the concerned Judicial Magistrate and the Petitioner was remanded to 14 days of Judicial Custody. Therefore, no cause survives for the relief sought in the above Criminal Proceedings, as such, the Criminal Petition may be posted for “withdrawal” enabling the Petitioner to withdraw the Criminal Petition and also to take appropriate recourse under the law.”
