Holding
The court held that permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application may be granted as the applicant is already protected by the quashing petition.
Summary
The applicant, Gohil Sursangbhai Gordhanbhai, filed an anticipatory bail application (Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.17939 of 2026) before the Gujarat High Court. Subsequently, the applicant sought to withdraw the application, contending that he was already protected by a separate quashing petition (Criminal Miscellaneous Application No.18629 of 2026). The learned counsel for the applicant moved the court for permission to withdraw, while the State’s counsel opposed. The court examined whether the applicant could be allowed to withdraw the anticipatory bail proceeding given the protective effect of the quashing petition. Finding that the applicant’s interest was already safeguarded, the court granted permission to withdraw the application. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was disposed of as withdrawn.
Issues considered
- Whether the High Court may grant permission to withdraw an anticipatory bail application when the applicant is already protected by a pending quashing petition
