Summary
Dr. Ashiya Fatima filed an anticipatory bail petition (Criminal Miscellaneous No.91689 of 2025) in the Patna High Court in connection with a case registered as PS Case No.657 of 2023. The petitioner, represented by senior counsel N.K. Agrawal and Manaur Alam, sought permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead surrender before the lower court to apply for regular bail.
