Once bail has been granted, it may be withdrawn only on cogent and overwhelming grounds showing misuse of liberty, supervening circumstances, tampering with evidence, or risk of absconding. On the facts noted, there was no allegation of evidence tampering, no material indicating flight risk or breach of bail conditions, and no persuasive basis for further custodial necessity.
