THIS CRIMINAL MISC. CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 11.01.2023, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE
FOLLOWING:
Crl.M.C.No. 9645 of 2022
..2..
ORDER
Dated this the 11th day of January, 2023
Annexure A4 order cancelling the bail granted by the
Chief Judicial Magistrate, Thalassery (for short, 'the court
below') to the petitioner invoking Section 439(2) of Cr.P.C. is
under challenge in this Crl.M.C.
2. I have heard Sri.B.Premod, the learned counsel
for the petitioner and Smt.T.V.Neema, the learned Senior
Public Prosecutor.
3. The petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.
478/2022 of Kelakam Police Station. The offences alleged
against the petitioner are punishable under Sections 406,
420 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3, 4 and 5
of Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act
and Section 66 D of Information Technology Act.
4. The petitioner was granted bail by the court below
as per Annexure A2 order on 28/09/2022.
5. Thereafter, the investigating officer has filed a
report at the court below stating that the petitioner has Crl.M.C.No. 9645 of 2022
..3..
violated the bail conditions. The court below even without
hearing the petitioner or giving an opportunity to offer
explanation, passed Annexure A4 order cancelling the bail.
6. This court recently in Muhammed Yasin v.
Station House Officer [2022 (7) KHC 159] has held that,
the bail granted to accused cannot be cancelled under
Section 439(2) of Cr.P.C. on the ground of violation of
conditions of the bail order without issuing notice to the
accused and without giving an opportunity of being heard.
The dictum laid down in the said decision squarely applies to
the facts of the case.
Hence, the impugned order is set aside. The court
below is directed to consider the matter afresh and pass
orders in accordance with law, after hearing both sides. The
Crl.M.C. is allowed.
