Holding
The petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
Summary
Shashi Kumar filed an anticipatory bail petition in the Patna High Court arising from a criminal case registered in Gaya. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the matter had been referred to mediation, which reportedly succeeded as per the mediator’s report dated 11‑02‑2026. However, the petitioner later expressed unwillingness to comply with the conditions recorded in the mediation report and sought to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. The court granted permission to withdraw the petition. Consequently, the court dismissed the petition as withdrawn, without addressing the merits of the bail application.
Issues considered
- Whether the anticipatory bail application should be entertained after successful mediation
- Whether the petitioner can withdraw the anticipatory bail petition after filing
