Holding
The Court dismissed the anticipatory bail application as withdrawn, permitting the applicant to re‑file after disclosing his criminal history.
Summary
The applicant, Uday Narayan, filed an anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the CrPC. The Attorney General highlighted that the applicant had a prior criminal case (Case Crime No.459 of 2008) under IPC sections 332, 353, 504, 506, which the applicant’s affidavit had omitted. Confronted with this discrepancy, the applicant’s counsel requested permission to withdraw the present application and re‑file a fresh one after fully disclosing the antecedents, invoking Chapter XVIII, Rule 18(7) of the Court Rules. The Court accepted the request, dismissed the application as withdrawn, and granted liberty to file a new application with complete disclosure. The certified copy of the bail application, if any, was ordered to be returned to the applicant’s counsel.
Issues considered
- Whether an anticipatory bail application can proceed when the applicant fails to disclose prior criminal antecedents.
- Whether the applicant may be allowed to withdraw the application and re‑file after full disclosure as per Rule 18(7).
