Cancellation of Bail Post-Commital - Generally, once a case is committed to the Sessions Court, the bail granted by a Magistrate does not automatically lapse; the order of bail by the Magistrate remains operative unless specifically canceled or modified by a higher court. The Magistrate cannot cancel bail granted prior to committal, and the power to do so lies with the Sessions Court or High Court.

Power of Sessions Court and High Court - These courts possess the authority to grant anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C., and their bail orders continue to be effective even after the case is committed to the Sessions Court. Cancellation of bail by a Magistrate at the time of committal is generally not contemplated, and bail once granted by the Sessions Court or High Court cannot be canceled by the Magistrate.

Procedural Aspects - The process involves submitting muddemal and complying with directions during committal proceedings; failure to do so may impact bail orders. Additionally, automatic remand or cancellation of bail at the time of committal is not supported under Section 209 of Cr.P.C. unless specific grounds are established.

Conditions for Cancellation - Bail can be canceled if strong grounds exist, such as suppression of facts or misconduct, but general practice favors maintaining bail unless a proper case for cancellation is made out. The courts emphasize that cancellation is not automatic and requires proper grounds and proceedings. State VS E. Veeramani - Crimes
Implications of Committal - The act of committing a case to the Sessions Court does not inherently affect existing bail orders unless explicitly canceled or set aside by a higher court. The Sessions Court or High Court's bail orders remain operative unless challenged or annulled through appropriate proceedings. BIJAY KUMAR BEHERA VS STATE OF ORISSA - Orissa, B. L. Verma VS State of M. P. - Madhya Pradesh
Analysis and Conclusion:
Bail granted by a Magistrate prior to committal generally remains valid after the case is committed to the Sessions Court. Cancellation of bail at the time of committal is not automatic; it requires specific grounds and is primarily within the jurisdiction of the Sessions Court or High Court. Magistrates cannot unilaterally cancel bail granted earlier. Proper procedural steps must be followed for cancellation, and bail orders from higher courts continue to be effective unless explicitly revoked.
