<\/span>Introduction<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cancellation of bail is a serious judicial action because it curtails the personal liberty of the accused. Therefore, courts exercise this power only in exceptional circumstances. Under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (BNSS), the power to cancel bail is vested in the High Court and the Court of Session under Section 483(3) and in magistrates under Section 480(5). Proceedings for cancellation may be initiated by the court on its own motion, by the police, or by the complainant.<\/p>
