Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, emphasizing that the parameters for granting and canceling bail differ. The Court held that the High Court's cancellation of bail was justified due to specific allegations against the appellant, including threats made to a witness and the criminal history of co-accused. The Court reaffirmed that bail can be canceled if the trial court acted on irrelevant materials, thus upholding the High Court's decision.
