Lalla, sought leave to withdraw that application and requested liberty to file a fresh bail application before the trial court on new grounds. The respondent State, represented by S.K.

It granted leave to withdraw and clarified that the fresh application, if filed, will be decided on its own merits. Consequently, the original bail application was disposed of as withdrawn.
