                                                      Vs.

                                           State of West Bengal

                                      Crl.A.Nos.1003-1004 of 2009

                                 (Altamas Kabir and Cyriac Joseph JJ.)

                                                  11.05.2009

                                                   ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. These appeals are directed against an order passed by the Division Bench of the Calcutta
High Court on 9th June, 2008 in CRA. No.235 of 1994, canceling the bail granted to the
appellants during the pendency of the appeal. The only ground on which the bail was
cancelled is that on 9th June, 2008, the appellants went unrepresented. No other ground has
been given for cancelling the bail.

3. In our view, this order of the Division Bench of the High Court cannot be sustained since
on the date in question, the names of the learned counsel representing the appellants had not
been indicated in the cause list. Furthermore, there is also no reason given for cancellation of
the bail. Accordingly, the said order is set aside, the order granting bail to the appellants on
26th September, 1994, -2- is restored.

4. The appeals are disposed of.
