Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail under Section 439(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, emphasizing that bail can be revoked if it is found that the accused may tamper with evidence or influence witnesses. The Court held that the gravity of the charges, including Sections 302, 364, and 120B of the IPC, justified the cancellation of bail granted to the appellant, a senior IPS officer implicated in a fake encounter case. The Court ultimately upheld the High Court's decision to cancel the bail, reinforcing the principle that the seriousness of the allegations must be considered in bail matters.
