BILASH GUPTA ALIAS RAM BILASH GUPTA v. State Of Jharkhand

A.K.MATHUR, P.VENKATARAMA REDDI

body2005
ORDER 1. Leave granted. 2. The anticipatory bail granted to the appellant herein was cancelled by the High Court by the impugned order on the ground that the appellant has been threatening the informant and other witnesses and, therefore, the privilege of bail has been misused. This observation of the High Court is based on the report of the Superintendent of Police, Sahebganj (filed as Annexure P-9 to the special leave petition) which in turn refers to the inquiry report of the police officer, in charge of Mirzapur Police Station. We have gone through the reports. As both the reports are not clear enough to indicate that the threats were received against the witnesses, we are of the view that this is a fit case in which the High Court should re-examine the matter in the light of the reports on record and any further report that may be called for by the High Court. The order of the High Court is, therefore, set aside without expressing any view on the merits of the case. The matter is remitted to the High Court to be disposed of as expeditiously as possible. The appeal is disposed of accordingly.
