Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and addressed the issue of whether the appellant's petition for anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. was withdrawn without her instructions. The Court noted that the High Court recorded a statement indicating that the appellant's counsel had requested the dismissal of the application as withdrawn. The appeal was disposed of, allowing the appellant to file a new application in the High Court to contest the alleged instructions given to her counsel, with the interim order remaining in effect for four weeks.
