Summary
Suraj Singh, a student with no prior criminal record, filed an application for regular bail in a criminal miscellaneous case. He later sought to withdraw this application in order to surrender to the authorities within four weeks. The petitioner argued that his surrender should be considered on its own merits without prejudice from the withdrawn bail application. The Court, after hearing counsel, granted the petitioner liberty to withdraw the bail application and to surrender, directing that any subsequent bail application be heard promptly. Consequently, the present bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
Issues considered
- Whether a petitioner may withdraw a bail application and surrender voluntarily
- Whether the withdrawal of a bail application prejudices any future bail considerations
