Cancellation of Bail in Criminal Law

This document discusses the cancellation of bail under criminal law in India. It outlines that under Section 439(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a High Court or Sessions Court may direct that any person released on bail be arrested and committed to custody. The High Court has the power to stay bail orders passed by lower courts or commit those admitted to bail by lower courts to custody if new circumstances arise. Bail can only be cancelled on strong grounds such as misrepresentation of facts, improper exercise of discretion, or interference with investigation or trial by the accused.
