Summary
Mohit Kumar filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court, alleging fear of arrest. While the application was pending, he was arrested by the police. The petitioner then approached the court seeking to withdraw his own anticipatory bail application, stating that he had already been taken into custody. The court considered whether a petitioner could withdraw an anticipatory bail application after arrest. It held that a petitioner is free to withdraw the application at any stage, and consequently dismissed the anticipatory bail petition as withdrawn. The order effectively left the petitioner to face regular bail proceedings, if any.
