Counsel for the petitioner sought permission to withdraw the application while reserving the right to file a fresh bail application after the charge-sheet is filed. The Court, not inclined to examine the merits, granted the request to withdraw. The application was consequently disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty to reapply post charge-sheet. No substantive merits of the bail claim were considered.
