The State Counsel has opposed the application for anticipatory bail and argued that it is not legally maintainable. It is submitted that the offences against the applicant also include Sections 4 and 5 of the Circulation of Money Act and Section 10 of the Chhattisgarh Protection of Depositors interest Act. These special laws clearly provide that anticipatory bail cannot be granted to a person accused under them. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that she prays for permission to withdraw the present application. 4. In view of the above, the present MCRCA is dismissed as withdrawn. - Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaibhav
