Bombay High Court

KHAN MOHD. YUSUF NASEEMversusSTATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANR

Decided: 3 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed off as Withdrawn

Holding

The court held that the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn upon the applicant's request after his arrest.

Summary

The applicant, Khan Mohd. Yusuf Naseem, was arrested and had earlier filed Anticipatory Bail Application No. 2154 of 2026. After his arrest, counsel for the applicant sought permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. The court considered the request in light of the applicant's custodial status. Since the applicant was already in custody, the anticipatory bail relief was no longer requisite. Accordingly, the court dismissed the application as withdrawn. The matter was concluded without further orders.
