STATE OF WEST BENGAL

Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court set aside the Calcutta High Court's order canceling bail granted to the appellants, which was based solely on their unrepresentation on the hearing date without any substantial reasoning. The Court emphasized that the absence of counsel was not a valid ground for bail cancellation, especially since the names of the counsel were not listed in the cause list. Consequently, the original bail order from 26th September 1994 was restored, and the appeals were disposed of accordingly.
