Holding

The anticipatory bail application is dismissed as withdrawn upon the petitioners’ request and the Court’s permission to withdraw.

Summary

The petitioners – Rima Kumari, Sanjay Singh and Shesha Devi – filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court in a criminal miscellaneous case arising from a 2012 FIR. They later sought the Court’s permission to withdraw that application, stating that a compromise had been reached between the parties and they were willing to surrender and apply for regular bail. The learned counsel for the petitioners requested liberty to withdraw, and the State’s counsel did not oppose the request. Justice Satyavrat Verma granted the petitioners’ request, allowing the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail application. Consequently, the anticipatory bail petition was dismissed as withdrawn, enabling the petitioners to surrender and pursue regular bail.
