Unnao Rape Case: "No Material/Cogent Reason Adduced": Allahabad High Court Dismisses CBI's Plea To Cancel Bail Of Accused
Live LawThe Allahabad High Court recently dismissed applications for cancellation of the bail filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Significantly, the applications were moved by the CBI in the year 2018 pursuant to the observation of Division Bench, in which the Court had asked the CBI to consider as to whether cancellation of bail of accused in the case was necessary for carrying out free and fair further investigation. In that order of the year 2018, the Court had asked the CBI to consider whether cancellation of bail of accused in the case was necessary for carrying out free and fair further investigation, and therefore, the instant applications were moved in the year 2018 itself. "Exercising their liberty to move the present applications, some materials should have been placed to support the ground taken for cancellation of bail that there is likelihood of the applicants interfering with free and fair investigation, but apart from reiterating the order of the Division Bench, there is no averment in the said applications and, therefore, this Court finds the applications to be sheer abuse of the liberty granted by this Court and deprecates this practice of filing such frivolous applications by the investigating agencies," the Court further held.
