Bail was procured through misrepresentation and suppression of material facts by the applicant, who failed to disclose criminal history and prior conviction in a similar case. Despite objections raised in the first bail application, the applicant withdrew it and filed a second application without disclosing the material facts. The court held that economic offenses are serious, and the sessions judge rightly canceled the bail and examined the merits of the case due to the seriousness of allegations. The applicant's conduct of seeking regular bail without disclosing material facts justified cancellation of bail. The high court dismissed the application u/s 482 of CrPC, finding no merit in the arguments against cancellation of bail.
