Disposal: Withdrawn
Bench: SACHIN S DESHMUKH

Holding

The Court allowed the withdrawal of the bail application and granted liberty to file a fresh bail application before the trial court after the charge-sheet is filed.

Summary

The applicant, Akshay Santosh Shingare, filed a bail application before the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench. On instructions, his counsel sought to withdraw the bail application, requesting liberty to file a fresh bail application before the trial court after the charge-sheet is filed. The State, represented by counsel, opposed the withdrawal. The Court considered whether a bail application could be withdrawn and whether liberty could be granted for a subsequent application. It held that the applicant may withdraw the bail application and be permitted to approach the trial court later. Consequently, the bail application was disposed of as withdrawn with liberty to file a new application after the charge-sheet.
