The Court allowed the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail application and dismissed it as withdrawn.
Summary

The State opposed, arguing that their case differed from a prior anticipatory bail order granted to Surendra Ram and others. Petitioners sought permission to withdraw their anticipatory bail application. The Court, after hearing counsel, granted the request to withdraw. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn, and no bail was granted.
