(1.) V. P. Mathur, J. Smt. M. Chaudhary, the then II Additional Sessions Judge, Shahjahanpur, while disposing of Criminal Misc. Application No. 19 of 1987, arising out of the Case Crime No. 105 of 1987, pertaining to police station Kanth, district Shahjahanpur, on 3-12-1987 cancelled the bail granted to the applicant Sripal by the Magistrate.

(2.) THE brief facts of the case are that an F. I. R. was lodged by Shri Krishan against the present revisionist on 31-3 -. 987 and the allegations were that at about 12-00 noon Sripal fired at him with an intention to kill with an unlicensed gun and caused him gun shot injuries on his thigh and abdomen. He also injured his brother Pratipal Singh. A case was registered under Section 307,i. P. C. investigation was made and a charge sheet was submitted against Sripal Singh on 3-5-87 as an absconder under Section 307,i. P. C. It appears that there after some how the police cancelled this charge sheet and submitted another one, this being for an offence under Section 324,i. P. C after all this Sripal Singh surrendered in the court of the Magistrate concerned, who granted him bail for an offence under Section 324,i. P. C.

(3.) THE Court has held that the expression inter-locutory has not been so used in Section 397 (2) of the Criminal Procedure Code in the restricted sense of an order which is converse to the term 'final order'. An order which does not decide any of the matters in dispute or which does not substantially decide any vital issue in the case against the accused, touching the merits of the case or rights of the parties, will still be an inter-locutory order. Catalogu ing of such orders will not be possible. In the case of 'amar Nath', while giving examples of what is inter-locutory with in the meaning of Section 397 (2) of the Code, the Supreme Court mentioned the word "passing orders for bail". This term was interpreted by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Bhola and others v. State, ACC 1979 (16) 155 and it was held that it will include the granting, rejecting and cancelling the bail. This being the legal position, the order cancelling the bail will be an inter-locutory order against which a revision shall be barred under Section 397 (2) of the Criminal Proce dure Code.
