What did the court decide?
Having considered the learned APP's submissions and the case diary of Mohammadpur P.S. Case No. 267/2023 showing the petitioner's subsequent involvement in trafficking of a large quantity of English liquor after the grant of provisional bail by this bench — demonstrating misuse of the privilege of provisional bail — and taking into account the petitioner's past criminal history, this Court holds that the trial court rightly cancelled the petitioner's bail bond and rightly did not confirm his provisional bail.
