Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of bail granted under Sections 302/34 and 307/34 IPC was improper as it violated judicial discipline by allowing a different judge to review a decision made by a co-ordinate bench. The Court emphasized that any subsequent bail application should be presented before the same judge who granted the initial bail to prevent abuse of process. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the bail granted to the appellant, Harjeet Singh @ Seeta.
