Disposal: 40-WITHDRAWN @ FH
Bench: HASMUKH D SUTHAR

Holding

The court may, at its discretion, allow the withdrawal of a bail application and dispose of it as withdrawn.

Summary

The petitioner, Pragneshbhai Bharatbhai Prajapati, filed a regular bail application before the filing of a chargesheet. Subsequently, the petitioner, through counsel, sought permission to withdraw the bail application. The court considered whether it could allow the withdrawal of the application at this stage. Relying on its inherent discretion to manage procedural applications, the court granted the request. The application was therefore disposed of as withdrawn without any examination of the merits.
