Under these circumstances, learned counsel for accused/applicant seeks permission to withdraw this bail application with liberty to file afresh before the trial court after examination of the FSL expert. 6.

As requested, the application is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as sought. The learned trial court is requested and the IO is directed to ensure that FSL expert appears on the date already fixed before the trial court for his/her testimony.
