Holding
The anticipatory bail application was withdrawn by the applicants and therefore disposed of without a substantive ruling on bail.

The counsel for the applicants later sought to withdraw the application, a request that was not opposed by the respondents' counsel. The court, after hearing the request, granted leave to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. Consequently, the application was disposed of as withdrawn, and no substantive decision on bail was rendered.
