Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail granted under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, emphasizing that the accused must disclose all material facts during bail applications. The Court held that the concealment of facts by the accused warranted the cancellation of bail, as it misled the court regarding the circumstances of the case. Consequently, the appeal against the Punjab & Haryana High Court's order to cancel bail was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
