You have the following options in this situation (I am presuming that you are the complainant in this case, though you have not mentioned it specifically):
- You have mentioned that the high court has passed the order for grant of interim bail. This means that the final order for grant of anticipatory bail is yet to be passed. So, you can appear in the case and oppose the grant of bail on the grounds available to you. Or, request the public prosecutor to oppose it.
- If final order has been passed by the high court and if it is passed by a Single Judge bench, and if your high court rules permit appeal from a Single Judge bench to a Division bench, then you can appeal against the decision in the Division bench.
- If final order has been passed, you can file an application for cancellation of (anticipatory) bail granted, though generally it is rare to see the cancellation of anticipatory bail applications.
- If final order has been passed by high court, you can file SLP in the Supreme Court, though the chances of success in such a case would be less for you.
With regard to your second question, let me point out that normally there is a clause in the Verification of the Affidavit filed along with applications / petitions that “nothing material has been concealed” or something similar. This is on oath / affirmation. So, suppose such a clause was mentioned in the application before the high court, and if you believe that the accused had concealed material facts, then this may amount to perjury since he has given false affidavit in such a situation.
