The Court held that bail is a discretionary relief that must be exercised on relevant considerations, and cancellation is justified if the order relies on irrelevant factors or fails to protect the fairness of the trial. On the facts, the allegations involved gang rape of a minor, the prosecutrix had consistently implicated the accused, and undue emphasis had been placed on delay in lodging the FIR. The bail order was set aside and the accused were directed to surrender, with liberty to seek bail afresh later. en-us Wed, 23 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 29 Sep 2025 10:35:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=464159 Grant of bail in a serious sexual offence case may be cancelled where the order ignores the gravity of the accusation, the prima facie material, and the real risk of witness intimidation.
