| Decision |
The petition for cancellation of bail was dismissed due to insufficient grounds to withdraw the concession of bail. The court found that the offenses were not compoundable under the Anti-Terrorism Act and that the petitioners had raised no compelling arguments that would persuade the court to exercise discretion in their favor. The court reiterated that very strong and exceptional grounds are required to revoke bail once granted by a competent court. |
| Summary |
In the case of Criminal Miscellaneous No. 45 of 2016, the court addressed the petition for cancellation of bail for the respondents who were accused of serious offenses, including terrorism-related crimes under the Anti Terrorism Act, and various sections of the Penal Code. The court emphasized the strict requirements for cancelling bail, noting that the State's arguments were insufficient to warrant such action. This case highlights the importance of maintaining the integrity of the bail process within the criminal justice system, particularly in cases involving potential terrorism. The ruling is significant for legal practitioners navigating the complexities of bail applications in similar contexts. Key terms include bail cancellation, terrorism, and criminal procedure. |
