Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the cancellation of bail granted under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, to the appellant accused of attempted murder under Sections 307 and 34 IPC. The Court emphasized that the parameters for granting and cancelling bail differ, and that the trial court must consider relevant factors, including the nature of the accusation and the potential for witness tampering. The High Court's decision was supported by specific allegations against the appellant, including threats made post-bail, justifying the cancellation of bail.
