Ms. Dr. Indiwar Kumari, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RUDRA PRAKASH MISHRA ORAL ORDER 17-07-2026 Heard the parties.
2. The present application has been filed for cancellation of regular bail granted to the opposite party Nos. 2 to 4 by order dated 07.08.2025 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 22371 of 2025.
3. This Court is of the view that the power to cancel bail is distinct from the power to grant bail. Once liberty has been conferred by a judicial order, cancellation cannot be sought merely on the ground that another view on the merits is possible. Unless there is cogent material demonstrating that the accused has misused the liberty granted, attempted to influence
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8733 of 2026(7) dt.17-07-2026 2/2 witnesses, tampered with evidence, violated the conditions of bail, or that subsequent circumstances warrant interference, the order granting bail ought not to be disturbed. These observations are consistent with the principles laid down by the Supreme Court of India in catena of judgments such as in the case of Dolat Ram and others Vs. State of Haryana reported in (1995) 1 SCC 349, Abdul Basit @ Raju & Ors. Vs. Mohd. Abdul Kadir Chaudhary and Anr. reported in (2014) 10 SCC 754 and Jagjeet Singh and Others vs. Ashish Mishra @ Monu and Another reported in (2022) 9 SCC 321.
4. In the absence of any supervening circumstance or compelling reason, this Court finds no justification to cancel the bail earlier granted. Accordingly, the application for cancellation of bail is dismissed.
