The anticipatory bail application was dismissed as the cause of action ceased upon the applicant's arrest.
Summary
Jitendra Kumar Mahaveer Singh filed an anticipatory bail application before the Bombay High Court. While the application was pending, he was arrested, which rendered the cause of action for anticipatory bail moot. The court noted that once the applicant is in custody, the purpose of anticipatory bail ceases to exist. Consequently, the application could not be entertained. The judge disposed of the application without further hearing.
