Summary
The petitioners, Ankit Kumar and Aniket Kumar, filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court. During the hearing, their counsel requested permission to withdraw the application, preferring to surrender and seek regular bail.

It clarified that the trial court, upon surrender, must consider the regular bail application on its merits without prejudice from the withdrawn anticipatory bail.
