In Brief
Bhim Singh was charged with cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy. He obtained anticipatory bail from the Additional Sessions Judge. The complainant then filed complaints alleging threats of violence and non-return of money, prompting the High Court to cancel the bail. The Supreme Court held that subsequent complaints without police registration and failure to return money do not constitute valid grounds for bail cancellation. The Court set aside the High Court's order, holding that bail cancellation requires sufficient material evidence of evidence tampering or serious breach of conditions, not mere allegations or property disputes. The appeal was allowed and bail was restored.
