Satish Kaushik v. State of Rajasthan & Anr., S.B. Criminal Bail Cancellation Application No. 142/2022, Rajasthan High Court Jaipur Bench, Praveer Bhatnagar J., decided 05/02/2025. Petitioner sought cancellation of bail granted to respondent No. 2 (Pawan Kumar @ Daga) on 08.02.2021, citing forfeiture of bail bonds (order dated 25.08.2021) and continued threats to the complainant. Court held the bail order had become infructuous upon forfeiture of bail bonds and no case was made out for cancellation; application disposed of.
What did the court decide?
Since the bail bonds of respondent No. 2 were forfeited by the court below for non-appearance before the trial court, the impugned bail order dated 08.02.2021 has itself become infructuous and no case is made out for cancellation of bail. ¶21
