Himanshu Sharma vs. State of Madhya Pradesh [2024 INSC 139]

Grounds for cancellation of bail

RELEVANT PARAGRAPH

12. Law is well settled by a catena of judgments rendered by this Court that the considerations for grant of bail and cancellation thereof are entirely different.   Bail granted to an accused can only be cancelled if the Court is satisfied that after being released on bail, (a) the accused has misused the liberty granted to him; (b) flouted the conditions of bail order; (c) that the bail was granted in ignorance of statutory provisions restricting the powers of the Court to grant bail; (d) or that the bail was procured by misrepresentation or fraud.  In the present case, none of these situations existed.
