Bench: P M RAVAL

Holding

The Court held that it may permit the withdrawal of the anticipatory bail application and accordingly disposed of it as withdrawn.

Summary

In the High Court of Gujarat, an anticipatory bail application (R/CR.MA/9019/2026) was filed by Chaudhri Sunil Jitaram against the State of Gujarat. The applicant, through counsel O I Pathan, later sought permission to withdraw the application. The respondent, represented by Mr. Krutik Parikh, opposed the withdrawal. The Court considered whether it could grant permission to withdraw an anticipatory bail application. Finding no impediment, the Court granted the request and ordered the application to be disposed of as withdrawn. Consequently, the anticipatory bail proceedings were terminated without a substantive hearing on the merits.
