  "summary": "The Supreme Court has detailed eight legal grounds for canceling bail, stating that relief can be withdrawn if an accused person misuses it or interferes with the judicial process. According to Justice Muhammad Ali Mazhar's judgment, bail may be canceled if the original order is illegal or unjust, or if the accused attempts to influence prosecution witnesses, tamper with evidence, or obstruct justice. Other grounds for cancellation include the risk of fleeing the court’s jurisdiction, interfering with an investigation, or committing a similar offense while on bail. The ruling was issued as the court dismissed an appeal and upheld a Sindh High Court decision in a case involving the death of a man in Larkana. The accused, Ali Asghar Khokhar, was granted pre-arrest bail by the Sindh High Court on October 20, 2025, following a rejection by a sessions court. The Supreme Court noted that certain aspects, such as the nine-month delay in registering the FIR and the accused’s alleged involvement, require further scrutiny. Additionally, the court directed that a copy of the judgment be sent to the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) to investigate allegations of illegal electricity supply and power theft related to the case.",
