Judgment & Decree

IRSHAD HASAN KHAN, J.

Petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the order passed by a learned Judge in Chambers in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 1146/BC of 1997 dated 1-7-1997 whereby the bail granted to the petitioner by the trial Court, was cancelled. .

2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the State and the complainant/caveator, we are not inclined to interfere with the well-reasoned discretionary order of the High Court cancelling bail granted to the petitioner by the learned Additional Sessions Judge. Resultantly, the interim I bail granted to the petitioner by this Court on 18-8-1997, is recalled. The petitioner shall, however, be at liberty to approach the trial Court afresh after evidence of the eye-witnesses is recorded.

3. With the above observation, the petition is dismissed and leave to E appeal is refused. N.H.Q./R.207/S Leave refused.
