Holding
The Court disposed of the anticipatory bail application as withdrawn.
Summary
The applicant, Deepak Gautam Pandey, filed an anticipatory bail application before the Bombay High Court. While the application was pending, he was arrested by the police. Consequently, he approached the Court seeking permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. The learned counsel argued that the purpose of anticipatory bail ceases once the applicant is in custody. The Court held that the applicant may withdraw the application and therefore disposed of it as withdrawn. No substantive merits of the bail claim were examined as the application was voluntarily withdrawn by the applicant.
