CORAM: SARANG V. KOTWAL, J.
DATE: 03 JANUARY 2024
P.C. :
1.After arguing for some time, when I expressed my
disinclination to grant relief in these applications, learned senior
counsel and other learned counsel pray for unconditional
withdrawal of these applications. Their only request is that, this
withdrawal may not come in their way if and when they prefer an
application for regular bail. The request is reasonable.
2.Permission is granted. The applications are allowed to
be withdrawn unconditionally. It is made clear that, in future if any
of the applicants prefer an application for regular bail, it shall be
decided on its own merits uninfluenced by withdrawal of these
anticipatory bail applications.
3.With this observation, all the anticipatory bail
applications are disposed of.
4.With disposal of the main applications, all the interim
applications are also disposed of.
