SAMARENDRA NATH BHATTACHARYA vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL

The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail under Section 439(2) of the Cr.P.C., emphasizing that the grounds for cancellation differ from those for granting bail. The Court held that the High Court erred in assessing the merits of the original complaint while deciding on bail cancellation, which could prejudice the trial. Consequently, the Supreme Court stayed the High Court's order and allowed the appellant to remain on bail, reaffirming the trial court's discretion in bail matters.
