Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of anticipatory bail under Section 439(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code requires a careful assessment of the circumstances and allegations against the accused. The Court found that the High Court had sufficient grounds to cancel the bail based on the allegations of threats made by the appellants to a witness. Consequently, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to the appellants, affirming the need for maintaining the integrity of the judicial process.
