Holding
The court allowed the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail application and dismissed it as withdrawn.
Summary
Raman Yadav filed an anticipatory bail application in the Patna High Court fearing arrest in a criminal case. The petitioner, through counsel Binod Kumar Sinha, later sought permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail and instead surrender to the authorities to apply for regular bail. Justice Satyavrat Verma granted the request, ordering that the anticipatory bail application be dismissed as withdrawn. The court clarified that the petitioner’s surrender and regular bail application would be dealt with by the district court on its merits, without prejudice from the withdrawal. Consequently, the petitioner is free to surrender and seek regular bail, while the anticipatory bail proceedings are terminated.
Issues considered
- Whether an anticipatory bail application can be withdrawn by the petitioner.
- Whether withdrawal of anticipatory bail prejudices the petitioner’s right to obtain regular bail upon surrender.
