..... that all the conditions imposed by the High Court in the impugned order were also imposed by the courts which granted the first respondent the bail in the other criminal cases and the first respondent inspite of such conditions has violated the same with impunity. He pointed out that the learned Sessions Judge while rejecting the prayer for bail had noticed these cases, but the High Court did not take the same into consideration.

It is also an admitted fact that in one of the cases bail granted to the first respondent has been cancelled by the learned Sessions Judge on the ground that he has violated the conditions of bail. We are informed at the bar subsequently he has come out on bail in that case also.

It may be that while concurring with the lower courts' order, it may not be necessary for the said appellate court to assign reasons but that is not so while reversing such orders of the lower courts. It may be convenient for the said court to pass orders without indicating the grounds or basis but it certainly is not convenient for the court of appeal while considering the correctness of such impugned orders.

But we do record our disapproval of the practice followed by the High Court reflected in the impugned order and hope the same will not be repeated. For the reasons stated above, this appeal succeeds. The bail granted to the first respondent is cancelled. He is directed to surrender within a week from today. On failure to do so, the concerned police are directed to take necessary steps to arrest the first respondent. Any expression of opinion found in this order is purely tentative and for the disposal of this appeal. The same shall not, in any manner, prejudice the parties in the .....
