Summary
The petitioner, Dinesh Prasad, was implicated in a criminal case (PS Case No. 407 of 2025) and filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court. He later approached the Court seeking permission to withdraw that application. The learned counsel for the petitioner requested the withdrawal, and the State’s counsel and the informant’s counsel were present. Justice Prabhat Kumar Singh considered whether the Court could permit the petitioner to retract his anticipatory bail plea. The Court held that a petitioner may withdraw an anticipatory bail application and granted the request. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
