Summary

The petitioners, Shubham Kumar and Gauri Shanker, were implicated in a criminal case (PS Case No.70 of 2025) and filed a regular bail application before the Patna High Court. Their counsel subsequently sought the Court's permission to withdraw the bail application. The Court examined whether such a withdrawal could be permitted under procedural law. It granted the petitioner's request, allowing the withdrawal of the bail application. Consequently, the regular bail application was dismissed as withdrawn. No substantive merits of the bail request were considered as the application was withdrawn with the Court's consent.
