body2009
ORDER : 1. Leave granted. These appeals are directed against an order passed by the Division Bench of the Calcutta High Court on 9th June, 2008 in CRA. No. 235 of 1994, cancelling the bail granted to the appellants during the pendency of the appeal. The only ground on which the bail was cancelled is that on 9th June, 2008, the appellants went unrepresented. No other ground has been given for cancelling the bail. 2. In our view, this order of the Division Bench of the High Court cannot be sustained since on the date in question, the names of the learned Counsel representing the appellants had not been indicated in the cause list. Furthermore, there is also no reason given for cancellation of the bail. 3. Accordingly, the said order is set aside, the order granting bail to the appellants on 26th September, 1994, is restored. The appeals are disposed of.
