Holding
The court dismissed the anticipatory bail application, permitted its withdrawal, and directed that a regular bail application be considered expeditiously within four weeks, with no coercive action taken against the applicant.
Summary
The applicant filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the CrPC. After hearing, the applicant sought to withdraw the anticipatory bail application and move a regular bail application in the underlying criminal case (Crime No. 192 of 2010) involving offences under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC and Sections 6 and 10 of the Public Examination Act. The respondent’s counsel raised no objection to the withdrawal. The High Court allowed 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. The anticipatory bail application was consequently dismissed and the matter was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the anticipatory bail application can be withdrawn and the applicant permitted to seek regular bail.
- Whether the court can stay any coercive action against the applicant pending the regular bail application.
