Holding

Summary

Amresh Pandey was arrested in connection with a criminal case and filed an application for bail before the Patna High Court. The petitioner’s counsel subsequently sought the court’s permission to withdraw the bail application, arguing that the petitioner was already in custody. The issue before the court was whether the petitioner could be allowed to withdraw his bail application after arrest. The court examined the procedural rule that a bail application may be withdrawn with the court’s permission. Finding no impediment, the court granted permission to withdraw the application. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
