Holding
The Court allowed the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail petition and dismissed it, granting the petitioners liberty to surrender before the trial court for regular bail.
Summary
The petitioners, Ghanshyam Mishra and Dipak Mishra, filed an anticipatory bail petition in the Patna High Court under Sections 103(1), 238 and 3(5) of the Bhartiya Nayay Sanhita, 2023, fearing arrest. During the hearing, they sought the Court’s permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead surrender before the trial court to seek regular bail. The learned counsel for the petitioners was allowed to withdraw the petition. The Court granted liberty to the petitioners to surrender before the trial court and to make a fresh application for regular bail. Consequently, the anticipatory bail petition was dismissed as withdrawn, without prejudice to any further regular bail application. The trial court may now consider the regular bail prayer in accordance with law.
