The matter came up before Justice Singh, where senior advocate Mrigendra Singh, appearing for Samarth Singh, submitted that his client intended to withdraw his anticipatory bail plea and voluntarily surrender before the trial court. The defence also urged the court to direct that Samarth Singh’s bail application be heard and decided on the same day of surrender.
However, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing the Madhya Pradesh government, strongly opposed the request. He informed the court that the accused had been absconding and should surrender directly before the investigating officer instead of seeking immediate relief through the trial court.
