Holding
The second anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn upon the petitioner’s request.
Summary
The petitioner, Amarjeet Yadav, feared arrest in a case under Section 281 of the Bihar Narcotic Substances Act, 2023 and Section 30(a) of the Bihar Excise Act. He had earlier obtained anticipatory bail in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 16396 of 2026, but the trial court found he had concealed an additional criminal antecedent, leading to the non‑confirmation of his bail bonds. Consequently, he filed a second anticipatory bail application. During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel sought permission to withdraw this second application, acknowledging the difficulty arising from the concealment. The court granted permission to withdraw, and the second anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
Issues considered
- The court considered whether the second anticipatory bail application could be withdrawn by the petitioner.
- The effect of concealment of criminal antecedent on the grant of anticipatory bail.
