Holding
The court granted the petitioner liberty to move before the bail‑granting court and disposed of the present application.
Summary
The petitioner, MD Manjur Alam Ansari, filed an application seeking to withdraw the present proceedings so that he could approach the court which had granted regular bail to the opposite party, MD Sanaul Ansari. He alleged that he was being threatened to withdraw the case and feared that evidence might be tampered with. The learned counsel for the petitioner requested liberty to move before the other court, while the State opposed the request. The High Court, after hearing both sides, granted the petitioner liberty to approach the bail‑granting court and disposed of the present application. Consequently, the matter was left for determination by the other court, and the application was closed.
Issues considered

- Whether the High Court can grant liberty to move before another court in view of alleged threats and risk of evidence tampering

ORAL ORDER
4 08-01-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned
APP for the State.
2. After some arguments, learned counsel for the
petitioner prays for withdrawal of the present application in
order to approach the Court concerned which has granted the
privilege of regular bail to the opposite party no.2 as he is
challenging the said order primarily on the ground of
supervening circumstance of threatening the petitioner to
withdraw the instant case and hence, he apprehends that there is
strong possibility of tampering the evidence.
3. In such view of the matter, the petitioner is granted
liberty to move before the Court concerned which has granted
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20922 of 2024(4) dt.08-01-2026

bail to the opposite party no.2.

disposed of.
