Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail under Section 498A IPC, emphasizing that bail should not be revoked solely based on alleged non-compliance with a compromise that was not formally established. The Court held that the High Court erred in its assessment, as there was no conclusive evidence of a compromise between the parties. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order, reinstating the bail granted to the appellant-husband.
