Holding
The court held that the anticipatory bail application may be withdrawn and the applicant is entitled to liberty until a regular bail application is filed.
Summary
The applicant, Raj Dhakre, filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the BNSS in a criminal case involving multiple IPC offences. During the hearing, the applicant's counsel sought to withdraw the anticipatory bail application 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 application and granted the requested liberty, directing that the applicant not be arrested for 30 days to file the regular bail application. The court ordered the applicant to move the bail application within 30 days and to provide certified copies of relevant documents upon production of photocopies. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn.
