KASHMIRA SINGH vs DUMAN SINGH — Crl.A. No. 685/1996

Case Summary: Kashmira Singh v. Duman Singh The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court's order cancelling bail granted to Kashmira Singh in a criminal case arising from an armed clash between two groups over a disputed land. The Court found the High Court's grounds for cancellation—alleging suppression of facts about a co-accused's rejected bail applications and absence of a cross-case—were insufficient, noting that casualties and injuries occurred on both sides and the accused had already spent over a year in custody. The Court emphasised that without positive evidence of threat or misuse of bail, and given the factual complexities, the original bail order should be restored.
