Holding
The anticipatory bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, and the petitioner may surrender and seek regular bail without prejudice.
Summary
Petitioner Kouslendra Yadav, facing criminal proceedings under PS Tharthari Case No.56 of 2025, filed an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the CrPC. He later sought permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead surrender to the trial court to seek regular bail. The Patna High Court, after hearing counsel for both parties, granted permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. Consequently, the anticipatory bail petition was dismissed as withdrawn. The Court directed that, upon surrender, the trial court should consider the regular bail application on its merits without any prejudice arising from the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail request.
Issues considered
- Can a petitioner withdraw an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of the CrPC?
- Does the withdrawal of an anticipatory bail application prejudice the petitioner’s right to obtain regular bail upon surrender?
