THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE CHEEKATI MANAVENDRANATH ROY AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE TUHIN KUMAR GEDELA WRIT PETITION No.2591 of 2026

O R D E R: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Cheekati Manavendranath Roy)

This writ petition for habeas corpus is filed seeking direction to the respondent police officials to produce the corpus, by name Naga Vishnu Vara Prasad, who is the husband of the petitioner, before the Court and then to set him at liberty.

2. Heard Mr. Mutyala Sobhanadri Naidu, learned counsel for the petitioner, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader attached to the office of the learned Advocate General appearing for the official respondents.

3. When the matter is taken up for admission, learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the corpus was taken by the 4th respondent – Station House Officer of Raidurgam Police Station, Telangana State, only for the purpose of enquiry as a witness in a crime registered against certain accused and thereafter, he was set at liberty.

4. Learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents vehemently opposed the petition, stating that when the corpus was taken by the police of Telangana State, the petitioner has unnecessarily filed the instant writ petition against the police of the State of Andhra Pradesh.

5. In view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the corpus is now at liberty and he was only taken for the purpose of enquiry as a witness in a crime that was registered against some other accused, nothing survives in this writ petition for adjudication.

6. Therefore, recording the said submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition is closed.

As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any pending, in this case shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
