K.P. Tiwari Vs. State (Madhya Pradesh)

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Oct-29-1993

Reported in: 1994RLR100

P.B. Sawant, J. (1) There is no doubt that the High Court was fully justified in cancelling the bail granted by the petitioner. In fact, on the facts and circumstances on record, we are not at all satisfied that there was any case in favor of the accused for releasing them on bail. (2) We are, however, impelled to remind the learned Judge of the High Court that bow- ever anguished he might have been over the unmerited bail granted to the accused, he should not have allowed himself the latitude of ignoring judicial precaution and propriety even momentarily. The higher courts every day come across orders of the lower courts which are not justified either in law or in fact and modify them or set them aside. That is one of the functions of the superior courts. Our legal system acknowledges the fallibility of the judges and hence provides for appeals and revisions. A judge tries to discharge his duties to the best of his capacity. While doing so, sometimes, he is likely to err. It is well s...
