Disposal: 27-WITHDRAWN @ ADM.STAGE
Bench: SANJEEV THAKER

Holding

The Court held that it may permit the withdrawal of an anticipatory bail application and accordingly disposed of the application as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Sahidkhan Saikhan Malek, filed an anticipatory bail application (R/Cr.MA/11902/2026) before the Gujarat High Court. During the hearing, the petitioner’s counsel, Mr. Mohddanish M. Barejia, indicated that the applicant would not pursue the bail and sought the Court’s permission to withdraw the application. The respondent, the State of Gujarat, was represented by Mr. Ronak Raval. The Court considered whether it could grant permission to withdraw an anticipatory bail application that had not yet been decided on its merits. Finding no impediment, the Court allowed the withdrawal and ordered the application to be disposed of as withdrawn. Consequently, the anticipatory bail proceedings were terminated without a substantive decision on the bail request.
