Holding
The court may permit withdrawal of a bail application and dispose of it as withdrawn without examining the merits.
Summary
The petitioner, Salim @ BhuriYo Hussainbhai Sodha, filed a regular bail application before the filing of a charge‑sheet. The applicant was represented by Mr. Nipul H. Gondalia, while the State was represented by Mr. Yuvraj Brahmbhatt. During the hearing, the applicant’s counsel, on instructions, sought the Court’s permission to withdraw the bail application. The Court, noting that it was not inclined to examine the merits, granted the request for withdrawal. The application was consequently disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty to file a fresh application after the charge‑sheet is filed. No substantive discussion on the merits of bail or any statutory provision was undertaken. The order was pronounced by Justice Hasmukh D. Suthar on 19 June 2026.
