The applicant’s counsel later informed the court that, owing to the arrest, there was nothing further to be considered and sought to withdraw the application as infructuous. The respondent State was represented by counsel who did not oppose the withdrawal. The court examined the request and, finding no objection, granted permission to withdraw the application. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was disposed of as having become infructuous.
