Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail under Section 439(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, emphasizing that the learned Single Judge of the Bombay High Court failed to provide adequate reasoning for the cancellation. The Court held that the appellant's alleged threats against the complainant did not justify the cancellation of bail, as the appellant had also lodged complaints regarding threats from the complainant. The Court reinstated the bail granted by the trial court, underscoring the necessity of clear grounds for bail cancellation.
