4   16-02-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the

                   learned APP for the State.

                                2. The learned counsel for the petitioner, after arguing

                   vehemently for some times realizing his difficulty, seeks

                   permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application with

                   liberty to surrender and seek regular bail.

                                3. Permission is accorded.

                                4. It is made clear that if the petitioner surrenders and

                   seeks regular bail, the learned Trial Court shall consider the case

                   on its own merit without being prejudiced by the fact that

                   petitioner, before this Court, withdrew his anticipatory bail

                   application.
