Holding
The anticipatory bail application is dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty granted to move a regular bail application within 30 days.
Summary
The accused filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the BNSS in Crime No. 180 of 2026, invoking Sections 115(2), 351(2) and 76 of the BNS. After hearing, the applicants sought to withdraw the anticipatory bail petition and instead file a regular bail application before the trial court, while requesting protection of liberty until that application is decided. The Court accepted the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail petition and granted the applicants liberty to move a bail application within thirty days, ordering that they not be arrested during that period. The Court also directed that certified copies of relevant documents be provided upon production of photocopies. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn, with liberty to seek bail later.
Issues considered
- Whether an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 can be withdrawn by the applicant.
- Whether the court can grant liberty to the applicant to avoid arrest pending a regular bail application.
