Summary

Vishal Singh filed an anticipatory bail application in connection with PS case No.364 of 2025, alleging that he might be arrested. He later approached the Court seeking permission to withdraw that application. The learned counsel for the petitioner argued that there was no longer any necessity for anticipatory bail. The Court examined its inherent power to allow a party to withdraw a bail application and found no legal impediment to doing so. Consequently, the Court granted permission to withdraw and dismissed the anticipatory bail application as withdrawn.
