..... the bail, already granted. Generally speaking the grounds of cancellation of bail, broadly (illustrative and not exhaustive) are : interference or attempt to interfere with the due course of administration of justice or evasion or attempt to evade the due course of justice or abuse of the concession granted to the accused in any manner.

Irrespective of whether the prosecution seeks cancellation of bail or challenges the order whereby bail is granted, the net effect, in the event, of such a petition being allowed, would be the same.

There is no allegation that he did not attend the Court or even the office of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence. There is no allegation of his trying to influence any witness or interfering with .....
