Supreme Court Dismisses Special Leave Petition in Andhra Pradesh Case

Petitioners Granted Two Weeks to Surrender and Apply for Regular Bail

In a recent decision, the Supreme Court of India dismissed the Special Leave Petitions filed by Pinnelli Venkatarami Reddy against the State of Andhra Pradesh. The bench, comprising Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta, heard the arguments presented by both parties before reaching their verdict on November 28, 2025.

The case involved petitions for Special Leave to Appeal (Crl.) No(s). 13488 and 13622 of 2025, where the petitioners sought to challenge previous judicial decisions. However, the Supreme Court declined to entertain these petitions, effectively dismissing them.

Despite the dismissal, the Court provided a respite to the petitioners by granting them a two-week period to surrender to the authorities and apply for regular bail before the Trial Court. The Supreme Court directed the Trial Court to consider the bail application on its own merits, ensuring that the Investigating Agency retains the right to seek police remand if necessary.

The legal teams representing both parties included senior advocates and multiple counsel who meticulously argued their positions. For the petitioners, prominent advocates like Mr. Siddhartha Dave and Mr. Shoeb Alam led the legal challenge, while the respondents were represented by Mr. Sidharth Luthra and his team.

The Supreme Court's decision underscores the importance of following procedural norms in the judicial process, while also balancing the rights of the accused with the investigative powers of the state.

Bottom Line:

Supreme Court dismissed the Special Leave Petitions but granted the petitioners two weeks' time to surrender and apply for regular bail before the Trial Court. Trial Court directed to consider the bail application on its merits.
