Holding
An anticipatory bail application may be withdrawn at the petitioner’s request, and the court may grant liberty to surrender and seek regular bail.
Summary
The petitioner, Bablu Sah, filed an anticipatory bail application in a criminal case arising from Begusarai. He later approached the court seeking permission to withdraw that application and to surrender, with a view to obtain regular bail. The petitioner’s counsel argued for the withdrawal, while the State opposed. Justice Satyavrat Verma, after hearing both sides, exercised the court’s discretion to allow the withdrawal and granted liberty to the petitioner to surrender and apply for regular bail. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
