Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail granted to the appellant under Sections 302 and 395 read with Section 120-B IPC. The Court held that the High Court's cancellation was based on the lack of change in circumstances since the first bail application was rejected. The Supreme Court directed the Sessions Judge to complete the trial within three months, allowing the appellant to seek bail if the trial is delayed, emphasizing that the decision should be made on merits without influence from the High Court's observations.
