Summary
The applicant, Jugendra @ Chhote, filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code in connection with Crime No.168 of 2026. After hearing, the applicant’s counsel sought to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead move a regular bail application, requesting protection of his interests in the interim. The Assistant Advocate General did not oppose the withdrawal. The court permitted the withdrawal, directed that the applicant file a regular bail application within four weeks, and ordered that no coercive action be taken against him during that period. Consequently, the anticipatory bail application was dismissed and the matter was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the anticipatory bail application can be withdrawn and replaced by a regular bail application.
