Decided: 10 February 2026

Bench: SATYAVRAT VERMA

Holding

The Court held that permission may be granted to withdraw an anticipatory bail application, and therefore dismissed the application as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, MD Jasim Ansari, was implicated in PS case No. 42 of 2025 and filed an anticipatory bail application before the High Court. After police investigation, a final report exonerated him, and he no longer feared arrest. The petitioner sought the Court's permission to withdraw his anticipatory bail application. The Court, after hearing counsel, granted permission to withdraw. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn, with the underlying criminal case remaining pending in the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's Court.

Issues considered

Whether an anticipatory bail application can be withdrawn when the petitioner no longer apprehends arrest and the police report exonerates him.
