Holding
The Court held that the petitioners may withdraw their anticipatory bail application, which is dismissed as withdrawn, and the district court shall consider any regular bail application on its merits without prejudice.
Summary
The petitioners, Subhash Kumar and Mithu Kumar, were implicated in a criminal case (PS Case No.550 of 2021) arising from a government official complaint in Nawada district. They filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court. During the hearing, the petitioners sought permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead surrender to the authorities to seek regular bail. The Court, after hearing counsel, granted permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn. The Court clarified that upon surrender and filing for regular bail, the district court shall adjudicate the matter on its merits without being prejudiced by the earlier withdrawal. No other substantive legal issues were addressed.
