The petitioner has an apprehension that, the bail granted to the petitioner will be cancelled for non-compliance of the said condition. 5. The Court ;nds that the learned Magistrate has granted bail to the petitioner on merits of the matter and after recording reasons. In view of the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Gajanan Dattatray Gore vs. State of Maharashtra and another1, under no circumstances the Courts can pass a conditional order of bail. Thus, the learned Magistrate will have to follow binding directions of the Supreme Court in the case of Gajanan Gore (supra), while considering the prayer to cancel the bail on the said count. 6. In the event, the learned Magistrate still passes an order of cancellation of bail, the same may not be given effect to for a period of two weeks, to facilitate the petitioner to work out his remedies. 7. Subject to aforesaid liberty, the petition stands disposed. [N. J. JAMADAR, J.] 1 2025 SCC OnLine 1571. 2/2
