Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of bail granted under Section 302/34 IPC was improper as it violated judicial discipline by allowing a different judge to reconsider a bail order made by a co-ordinate bench. The Court emphasized that subsequent bail applications should be presented to the same judge to prevent abuse of process and maintain consistency in judicial decisions. The appeal against the High Court's order was allowed, reinstating the original bail granted to the appellant.
