Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the cancellation of bail under Section 498A and 304B IPC, emphasizing that the parameters for granting bail differ from those for cancellation. The Court held that the High Court's cancellation of bail was unjustified as the trial court had considered the period of custody and the delay in trial. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the bail granted to the appellant, Jai Kumar, by the Additional Sessions Judge.
