Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's confirmation of the Sessions Judge's order cancelling the bail granted to the appellant under Section 498A IPC. The Court found that the bail was improperly granted without hearing the complainant, violating principles of natural justice. The judgment reinforces the necessity of considering the gravity of allegations and the potential for tampering with evidence when granting bail in cases of domestic violence.
