The Court clarified that failure to comply with such conditions could lead to bail cancellation. In a separate matter, the Court set aside a contempt notice issued to the Senior Superintendent of Police, stating that contempt jurisdiction should be exercised sparingly and that the language in legal applications must maintain the dignity of the Court.
