                   for the petitioners seeks permission to withdraw the present

                   application for anticipatory bail with respect to petitioner No.1,

          has been recovered from the house of Sanjeet Kumar @ Sanjeet

          Singh (petitioner No.1). It is alleged that petitioner No. 2,

          from the place of seizure.

          that the alleged recovery has been made from the house of co-

          accused Sanjeet Kumar @ Sanjeet Singh and due to village

          politics, the name of the petitioner has been mentioned so as to
