Holding
The anticipatory bail application is disposed of, allowing the applicant to withdraw it and file a regular bail application within four weeks, with a stay on coercive action during that period.
Summary
The applicant, Shamim Ahmad, filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code in connection with a criminal case (Crime No. 26 of 2005) involving an alleged offence under Section 409 of the Indian Penal Code. The applicant sought to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and instead move a regular bail application before the concerned court. Both parties' counsel appeared, and the learned Additional Government Advocate raised no objection to the withdrawal. The court permitted the applicant to withdraw the anticipatory bail application, granted a four‑week period during which no coercive action could be taken, and directed that a regular bail application be entertained expeditiously without prejudice from the earlier anticipatory bail proceedings. The court ordered that the anticipatory bail application be disposed of, subject to the conditions specified. The order was pronounced on 30 September 2026 by Justice Rajiv Lochan Shukla.
Issues considered
- Whether the anticipatory bail application under Section 482 CrPC can be withdrawn by the applicant.
- Whether the applicant may be permitted to move a regular bail application for the same offence.
- Whether any coercive action can be stayed pending the regular bail application.
