Holding
The High Court may grant permission to withdraw a bail application without examining its merits.
Summary
The applicant, Pukhraj, filed a regular bail application before the filing of a charge-sheet. He later sought the Court's permission to withdraw the application so that he could approach the trial court after the charge-sheet was filed. The learned counsel for the applicant requested the withdrawal, and the Public Prosecutor opposed. The High Court examined the request and, noting that it had not been required to consider the merits of the bail application, granted permission to withdraw. The Court ordered that the application stand disposed of as withdrawn and clarified that the trial court should not be influenced by this withdrawal. No substantive merits of the bail claim were addressed.
