Summary

After hearing, the petitioner’s counsel sought permission to withdraw the bail application and requested liberty to surrender before the lower court within four weeks and subsequently apply for regular bail. The Court, after considering the arguments, granted permission to withdraw the application. It dismissed the bail application as withdrawn, but expressly allowed the petitioner to surrender and file a fresh regular bail application before the trial court. The order emphasized that the fresh application would be considered on its own merits without prejudice from the present order.
