Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of bail under Sections 499 and 500 IPC was improper as the appellant was not given an opportunity to be heard, violating principles of natural justice. The Court emphasized that bail in bailable offences should not be cancelled without a fair hearing. The Court reinstated the bail granted by the Judicial Magistrate, thereby overturning the High Court's order that cancelled it.
