Being involved in another crime, he was arrested on 18-11-2021, and in custody till 17-5-2022. He was granted bail through order dated 24-5-2022 with the condition that involvement in any other crime while on bail will entitle the investigating officer to proceed with application before Court for cancellation of bail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On 13-10-2022, police received secret information and found the petitioner and 3 others in possession of 14.25 Kg Ganja and 850 gm Hash oil allegedly armed with weapons, which led to registration of another case under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001570292\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20(b)(ii)B<\/a> and Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001570304\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">29<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002802179\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NDPS Act<\/a> and under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001567306\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">27<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002775593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arms Act, 1959<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the investigating officer in furtherance of condition imposed by the Court regarding subsequent crime approached the Court within 5 months and filed an application for cancellation of bail. Finding prima facie materials to show misuse of liberty by the petitioner, the Special Judge cancelled bail granted to the petitioner, which has been challenged in the instant matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court considered the question of whether the Special Judge was justified in revoking bail granted to the petitioner for abusing freedom granted. The Court noted that as against the condition not to involve in any other crime while on bail, the petitioner got involved in a similar crime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court pointed towards the thin line of difference between &#8216;setting aside of an unjustified, illegal, or perverse order by a superior court&#8217; and &#8216;cancelling bail by Court on the ground of accused&#8217;s or because of some new facts requiring such intervention&#8217; as explained in <i>Gurcharan Singh<\/i> v. <i>State (Delhi Admn.)<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/S35GaKgR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1978) 1 SCC 118<\/a>. The Court had held that in such circumstances, the State may move the same Court after new circumstances arise, or approach the Superior Court under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">439(2)<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> to commit the accused to custody. But if the State is aggrieved by grant of bail in the absence of new circumstances, it is competent to move the High Court rather than the same Court. The same was reiterated in <i>Puran<\/i> v. <i>Rambilas<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/2Js3345P\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2001) 6 SCC 338,<\/a>; <i>Abdul Basit<\/i> v. <i>Mohd. Abdul Kadir Chaudhary<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/FjpQC5Ql\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2014) 10 SCC 754<\/a> and <i>Ranjit Singh<\/i> v. <i>State of M.P.<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/24teXMJ7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2013) 16 SCC 797<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court said that cancellation of bail by the Special Judge for the order being &#8216;unjustified, illegal, or perverse&#8217; shall be governed by the principles laid in <i>Dolat Ram<\/i> v. <i>State of Haryana<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/7Kc0055E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(1995) 1 SCC 349<\/a> requiring &#8216;very cogent and overwhelming circumstances&#8217; for cancellation of bail already granted, making sure that the bail is not cancelled in a mechanical manner without considering any supervening circumstances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court referred to <i>P.<\/i> v. <i>State of M.P.<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/d85j96c6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2022 SCC OnLine SC 552<\/a> which lists the circumstances when bail granted to the accused under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">439(1)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> can be revoked, which also includes misuse of liberty by indulging in another criminal activity as a sufficient ground for cancelling the bail already granted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court found the Special Judge well justified in cancelling the bail to the petitioner for being involved in another crime while on bail. It further clarified that any application by the petitioner for seeking regular bail shall be considered as per the principles governing grant of bail under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002775593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NDPS Act<\/a> and <i>Deepak Yadav<\/i> v. <i>State of U.P.<\/i>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/7Q5Yyu3p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2022) 8 SCC 559<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Navas v.
