O R D E R

1. By filing this special leave petition, the petitioner-complainant challenged

the grant of anticipatory bail to the accused-respondent no.21 vide impugned

order dated 15th September, 2025 passed by the High Court of Judicature at

Patna.

2. Several orders were passed to secure the presence of the respondent no.2

before the Court. Ultimately, the efforts of the police have borne fruit.

Respondent no.2 has been arrested on 04th August, 2026 from P. S. Bena,

District Nalanda, Bihar and is in custody right now.

3. We feel that since the respondent no.2 has been arrested in terms of this

Court's order dated 15th July, 2026, no useful purpose would be served in

deciding the special leave petition in his absence.

4. We direct that the respondent no.2 shall continue to remain in custody till

such time he is released on bail.

5. We grant liberty to the respondent no.2 to apply for bail before the trial

court. At the same time, it shall be open to the petitioner as well as the State of

Bihar to file appropriate application before the trial court in the event the

respondent no.2 is found to breach the terms and conditions of bail, if granted.

6. With the aforesaid observations, the special leave petition stands

disposed of.

7. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
