It does not necessarily mean the case is dismissed. It means that the money the court was holding on to in order to secure a defendant's presence (also known as bond) has been discharged and to be returned to the person who paid (such as the defendant or the bondsman). That can happen when charges are dropped. It can also happen if a person is convicted and sentenced.
