Holding
The bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to the applicant to file a fresh bail application before the concerned court.
Summary
Shamim applied for bail in a criminal case (Crime No. 352 of 2026) originally charged under Section 103(1) of the Indian Penal Code. The trial court had already dismissed his earlier bail application for that offence, and a charge‑sheet had subsequently been filed. In the meantime, Shamim was also charged and detained under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The applicant sought to withdraw the present bail application, requesting liberty to file a fresh application, and both the AGA and the informant’s counsel raised no objection. The High Court accepted the withdrawal, dismissed the bail application, and allowed the applicant to file a fresh bail petition later. The court ordered the return of the certified copy of the application to the applicant’s counsel.
Issues considered
- Whether a bail application can be entertained when the applicant is already in custody for an offence under the SC/ST Act and a charge‑sheet has been filed for the original offence.
- Whether the bail application can be treated as withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh application.
