In Brief
The accused-appellant's bail had been cancelled by the High Court on 20 December 2016, though it was initially granted on 28 November 2016. The Supreme Court reviewed the High Court's grounds for cancellation and noted that three co-accused persons were themselves on bail in the same proceedings. The Court found the cancellation unjustified, set aside the High Court's order, and restored the bail. The appellant was directed to cooperate with investigation and appear before the trial court as required.
