Holding
The application is disposed of, allowing the petitioner to avail other remedies.
Summary
Kanchan Devi filed an application before the Patna High Court seeking relief after a provisional bail had been granted to her by a coordinate bench of the same court in 2015. The petitioner later learned that the Sub‑Divisional Judicial Magistrate had rejected the bail bond of the opposite party for non‑compliance with conditions fixed by the High Court. Consequently, the petitioner moved the court to withdraw the present application and to pursue other legal remedies. The court, after hearing counsel, accepted the withdrawal and disposed of the application, granting the petitioner liberty to seek other remedies. No substantive merits of the bail issue were adjudicated as the application was withdrawn.
Issues considered
