The State Through Central Bureau Of ... vs T. Gangi Reddy @ Yerra Gangi Reddy

The Supreme Court examined whether a case for cancellation of bail can be considered on merits after an accused has been released on default bail under Section 167(2) of the Cr.P.C. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that once default bail is granted, subsequent consideration of bail cancellation on merits is not permissible. The judgment emphasizes the finality of default bail and the procedural constraints on re-evaluating bail conditions post-release. The appeal by the CBI was dismissed, affirming the legal principle regarding default bail.
