Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the Calcutta High Court's order cancelling bail granted to the appellants, emphasizing that the cancellation was based solely on the appellants being unrepresented, without any substantial grounds provided. The Court noted that the counsel's names were not listed in the cause list on the relevant date, rendering the High Court's decision unsustainable. Consequently, the bail granted on 26th September 1994 was restored, and the appeals were disposed of accordingly.
