                      PC:-


                      1.      Heard Mr. Kotangale, learned Counsel appearing for the

                      time, as the Court is not inclined to grant relief, Mr. Kotangale,

                      learned Counsel for the Applicant, seeks withdrawal of the

                      Anticipatory Bail Application.

                      be withdrawn and dismissed as such.
