Summary
Hariom Singh filed an anticipatory bail application in the Patna High Court. During the hearing, he sought permission to withdraw the application and instead surrender to the trial court to seek regular bail. The Court granted permission to withdraw, emphasizing that the trial court must consider his regular bail application on its merits without prejudice for the prior withdrawal. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn, allowing the petitioner to surrender and apply for regular bail. The order clarifies that withdrawal does not affect the trial court's discretion in granting regular bail.
