Case No. 4 of 2020 (lodged under section 379 of the IPC) against the petitioner was preferred. He has tendered unqualified apology and has assured this Court that such mistake will not be repeated in future.

Learned counsel for the petitioner Mr. Arvind Kumar is cautioned that such act of his can have serious repercussion. He should be careful in future. As prayed for, this application is permitted to be

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.16233 of 2022(4) dt.26-07-2022 3/3 withdrawn.

This bail application is dismissed as withdrawn. (Rajiv Roy, J) Ravi/- U T
