Holding
The High Court may permit the withdrawal of an anticipatory bail application and dismiss it as withdrawn.
Summary
The petitioners Prem Choudhary, Sunaina Devi and Umesh Choudhary filed an anticipatory bail application before the Patna High Court in a criminal miscellaneous case. During the hearing on 18‑02‑2026, the petitioners, through counsel, sought the court's permission to withdraw the second anticipatory bail application they had filed. The court examined whether it possessed the jurisdiction to allow such a withdrawal and found that it does, as the withdrawal does not prejudice any party and is within the court's inherent powers. Accordingly, the court granted permission to withdraw the application. The anticipatory bail application was consequently dismissed as withdrawn.
