Filing of charge sheet by itself cannot be a ground for cancellation of bail.


Quick Summary
The Supreme Court of India has ruled that the mere filing of a charge sheet does not, in itself, provide grounds for cancelling bail. In this case, the appellant was granted bail by the High Court due to an incomplete charge sheet not being filed within the stipulated period. However, the High Court's subsequent direction allowing re-arrest upon filing of the charge sheet was questioned as potentially contrary to established legal precedent.
