Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the cancellation of bail under Section 439(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, for the appellant accused of serious offenses including Sections 302, 364, and 120B of the IPC, and Sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act, 1950. The Court found that the allegations of involvement in fake encounters warranted the cancellation of bail due to the gravity of the charges and the potential for tampering with evidence. The Court emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the actions of the accused, affirming the High Court's decision to cancel bail.
