Disposal: 27-WITHDRAWN @ ADM.STAGE
Bench: SANJEEV THAKER

Holding

The Court held that it may grant permission to withdraw an anticipatory bail application, and therefore disposed of the application as withdrawn.

Summary

Vijaykumar Mahendrabhai Dave and another filed a criminal miscellaneous application seeking anticipatory bail before the Gujarat High Court. During the pendency of the application, the applicants, through their counsel, requested permission to withdraw the anticipatory bail application. The learned counsel for the applicants argued that the circumstances that prompted the filing had changed, and they no longer required bail. The Court examined whether the withdrawal of an anticipatory bail application required its own adjudication. Finding no legal impediment, the Court granted permission to withdraw the application. Consequently, the application was disposed of as withdrawn.

Issues considered

Whether the Court may permit the withdrawal of an anticipatory bail application at the stage it is filed.
