Holding
The court may permit withdrawal of pending bail applications and discharge the notice.
Summary
The applicant, Rajubhai Merambhai Karpada, filed multiple regular bail applications before the filing of a charge-sheet in a criminal case. During the pendency of these applications, the charge-sheet was filed, prompting the applicant's counsel to seek permission to withdraw the bail applications. The respondent, the State of Gujarat, was represented by the public prosecutor. The Hon'ble Justice Nikhil S. Kariel considered whether the court could allow the withdrawal of pending bail applications after a charge-sheet is filed. The court granted permission to withdraw, directing that the applications stand disposed of as withdrawn and that the applicant may approach the trial court afresh. Consequently, the notice issued in the applications was discharged.
