Holding

Summary

The petitioner, Raja Singh, applied for anticipatory bail in a criminal case (PS Case No. 416 of 2025). While the application was pending, he was arrested by the police. The petitioner then sought the court's permission to withdraw his anticipatory bail application. The learned counsel argued that the arrest rendered the bail application moot. The court, after hearing both sides, granted permission to withdraw the application. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
