Holding
The Court held that the applicant's failure to surrender and alleged absconding amounted to a breach of bail conditions, justifying the dismissal of the bail application.
Summary
The High Court considered the bail application of Prahalad Singh, who had been granted interim bail on 30 July 2025. The Court noted that despite a specific direction to appear before the Chief Judicial Magistrate by 28 August 2025, the applicant failed to surrender and his whereabouts became unknown after allegedly selling his house. An office report indicated that a non‑bailable warrant could not be executed due to his absconding. The Court concluded that the applicant misused the interim bail and violated its conditions. Consequently, the bail application was dismissed, and the matter was referred to the District Judge, Mathura for further directions.
Issues considered
- Whether the interim bail granted to the accused can be revoked on account of his failure to appear before the Chief Judicial Magistrate and alleged absconding.

before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Magistrate on or before 28.08.2025.
