In Brief
Upendra Sharma's criminal appeal challenged a High Court order issuing non-bailable warrants of arrest against him on an application for bail cancellation. The appellant had been granted regular bail by the Trial Court. The Supreme Court found that the High Court failed to follow proper procedure by issuing the warrants without allowing the appellant to appear and contest the cancellation application. The Court set aside the impugned order, held that the appellant may appear before the High Court to contest the application, and allowed the appeal. The High Court was directed to decide the application on its merits.
