Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court cancelled the bail granted to Shambhu Kahar by the High Court, citing his conviction under Section 302/149 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The Court emphasized that the trial had concluded and the accused was found guilty, thus justifying the cancellation of bail. The decision aligns with a prior ruling where bail was also cancelled for a co-accused in the same FIR, reinforcing the principle that bail should not be granted post-conviction in serious offenses.
