The Union Territory invoked sections 483(3) and 528 BNSS to cancel interim bail in an NDPS prosecution, alleging suppressed criminal antecedents, non-compliance with section 37 and misuse of Tofan Singh.
Judge / Bench — Hon’ble Mr. Justice Shahzad Azeem, Judge
The Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh High Court did not decide those objections or uphold the bail on merits. Because the bail was interim and the application remained pending before the trial court, the State was required first to pursue its remedy there. The petition was disposed of with liberty to approach that court, which was directed to consider all factual and legal pleas before a final order. The decision helps identify the appropriate procedural forum without converting this disposal into a ruling that the statutory bail conditions were satisfied.
