The application for cancellation of bail is disposed of as withdrawn, leaving the provisional bail in force.
Summary
Petitioner Subodh Kumar filed an application in the Patna High Court seeking cancellation of the provisional bail granted to opposite party No.2, Kanhaiya Ram, by the Special Judge under the SC/ST Act. The petitioner alleged that the bail should be revoked due to suppression of facts and threats to witnesses. During the hearing, the petitioner withdrew the application, stating that the appropriate remedy was to approach the court that had originally granted the bail. The Court accepted the withdrawal and disposed of the application without further consideration. Consequently, the bail remained in force.
Issues considered
- Whether the provisional bail granted to the accused under the SC/ST Act can be cancelled on the ground of alleged witness intimidation and suppression of facts.
- Whether the petitioner may withdraw the application for cancellation of bail and what the procedural consequence of such withdrawal is.
