Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of anticipatory bail granted under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, emphasizing that the High Court erred in setting aside the bail order without sufficient grounds. The Court held that the appellant complied with bail conditions and that the investigating agency had deemed the conditions unnecessary. The judgment clarified the distinction between appeals against bail grants and cancellations, ultimately reinstating the anticipatory bail granted by the Sessions Judge.
