Disposal
Withdrawn

Holding

The bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to file a fresh application before the trial court.

Summary

The petitioner, Arafat Fazal Patel, filed a bail application before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, seeking release pending trial. The applicant's counsel informed the court that the investigation was complete and a charge-sheet would be filed within a few days, and requested permission to withdraw the bail application and file a fresh one before the trial court. The court granted leave to withdraw the bail application, directing that if the application is filed together with the charge-sheet, the trial court should decide it according to law. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed as withdrawn, and the related criminal application No. 3075/2026 was also disposed of. No substantive legal issues were addressed, and no statutes or precedents were cited.
