WITHDRAWN

Holding

The anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn due to non‑attachment of the required earlier rejection order.

Summary

The petitioners filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court without attaching the earlier order rejecting their previous application. The court noted that the required document was not placed on record. Consequently, the court dismissed the application as withdrawn, granting the petitioners liberty to file a fresh application with the necessary orders attached. No merits of the bail request were considered. The decision underscores the necessity of procedural compliance in filing anticipatory bail applications.

Issues considered

  • withdrawal of application
  • Criminal Procedure Code
