The HC dismissed the petition seeking cancellation of the Respondent's regular bail in a PMLA prosecution concerning proceeds of crime and alleged abuse of office. The court held that the risk of witness influence had been addressed by the Special Judge when granting bail, since the key witness's statement was recorded while the Respondent remained in custody. The principal co-accused (Accused 1) had been charged and granted bail earlier, diminishing any realistic capacity of the Respondent to influence authorities. The Respondent had suffered cancellation of anticipatory bail, undergone judicial custody, cooperated with investigation, and no subsequent breach of bail conditions was alleged; accordingly the petition lacked merit and was dismissed.
