Holding
The bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, and the petitioner may seek regular bail before the District Court, which is directed to consider it on the same day.
Summary
The petitioner, Chandan Kumar Paswan, filed a bail application in the Patna High Court in connection with a criminal case (PS Case No. 54 of 2026). He later sought to withdraw the bail application, and his counsel requested permission to do so. The Court, after hearing counsel for both parties, granted permission to withdraw the application and dismissed it as withdrawn. The Court further directed that, should the petitioner wish, he may surrender before the District Court and file a regular bail application, which the District Court must consider on the same day based on the existing record. The order thus disposes of the withdrawal application while providing procedural guidance for any subsequent bail proceedings.
Issues considered
- Whether a bail application filed before the High Court can be withdrawn by the petitioner.
- Whether the High Court can direct the District Court to consider a fresh bail application on the same day.
