WRIT PETITION NO: 18195 OF 2026 ORDER: (per Ravi Nath Tilhari, J)
Previously a Co-ordinate Bench passed the detailed order on 04.07.2026 & 06.07.2026 and pursuant thereto the record was produced. The aforesaid order was passed as the learned counsel for the petitioner disputed the date of arrest and had submitted that the detenu was not produced before the Magistrate within 24 hours, whereas the submission advanced by learned Assistant Government Pleader was that the detenu was arrested on 03.07.2026 and was produced before the Magistrate concerned within 24 hours and had been remanded to the Judicial custody.
2. Today, Sri Bilaal Ahmed Syed, learned counsel representing Sri M.Soloman Raju, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the detenu has already been remanded by the concerned Magistrate and so there is no illegal detention. He further submits that the writ petition may be closed, as the petitioner would seek bail remedy.
3. Considering the submissions advanced and the request made and as the detenu has already been remanded to judicial custody and as there is no challenge to the remand order, it cannot be said that the alleged detenu is in any illegal detention so as to continue the writ of Habeas Corpus any more. The writ petition is closed. It is open to the petitioner/detenu to seek such other remedy as may be open under law and as may be advised.
No order as to costs.
As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, shall also stand closed. ____________________ RAVI NATH TILHARI,J
