Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of bail must be supported by reasons, as emphasized in the case of Aslam Babalal Desai v. State of Maharashtra, which outlines the distinct considerations for granting and canceling bail under Sections 57 and 167 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court found that the High Court's order lacked sufficient reasoning for the cancellation of bail granted to the appellants, thereby reinstating their bail. The judgment underscores the necessity for judicial reasoning in bail cancellation decisions.
