Bail was granted by High Court on fourth bail application of accused without assigning any reasons. Accused, main conspirator in crime led to killing of one person. Earlier grant of bail to accused by High Court was cancelled by Supreme Court on finding of prima facie material against him. Thereafter, mere examination of principal star witness (wife of deceased), held, cannot be considered as change in circumstance for High Court to reconsider fourth bail application of accused and enlarge him on bail. Therefore, impugned order passed by High Court is not sustainable, hence, set aside. Bail granted to accused, cancelled.
