Holding
The anticipatory bail application is disposed of, with permission to withdraw and file a regular bail application within four weeks, and a stay on coercive action for that period.
Summary
The applicant filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The counsel requested permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead file a regular bail application within four weeks. The Assistant Government Advocate had no objection. The court allowed the withdrawal, directed that the applicant may move a regular bail application in the specified case and that it be considered expeditiously, and ordered that no coercive action be taken against the applicant for four weeks. The anticipatory bail application was therefore disposed of.
Issues considered
