IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION

CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 383/2024 @ SLP(Crl) No. 12829/2023

KRISHNA SHARMA ALIAS KRISHNA KUMAR SHARMA APPELLANT(S)

VERSUS

THE STATE OF WEST BENGAL & ANR. RESPONDENT(S)

O R D E R

1. Leave granted.
2. The appellant challenges the order dated 06.09.2023,
vide which the bail granted to the appellant earlier was
cancelled.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant submits that
the appellant could not attend the Court on the said date as
there was traffic jam due to VIP movements. He further
submits that the lawyer of the appellant also could not
remain present as his Vakalatnama was withdrawn on an
earlier day.
4. Learned counsel for the respondent/State and the learned
counsel for the complainant oppose the petition.
5. However, we find that merely because the appellant did
not appear personally could not have been a ground for
cancellation of bail. The parameters for grant of bail and
cancellation of bail are totally different. The bail
already granted may be cancelled, if it is found that the
person who has been granted the benefit of bail has violated
any of the conditions or misused the liberty by influencing

Reason:
judgment. We therefore set aside the impugned order and
allow this appeal.
