Holding

An anticipatory bail application may be withdrawn by the applicant even after arrest.

Summary

The applicant, Salim Hasam Pathan, was already in custody when he filed an anticipatory bail application before the Gujarat High Court. He subsequently moved the Court seeking permission to withdraw the application. The learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant was arrested and no longer required anticipatory bail. The Court considered whether a party may withdraw an anticipatory bail application after arrest. Finding no impediment, the Court granted permission to withdraw the application. Consequently, the matter was disposed of as withdrawn.
