Though the complainant has the right to apply for cancellation of bail, it can be done only on certain specific grounds. Please note that the considerations for cancellation of bail are different from the considerations on which the bail is granted.
Usually, the bail can be cancelled on the following grounds (and, may be some more):
- The accused has absconded or is likely to abscond.
- He is threatening the witnesses or trying to win them over.
- He is destroying the evidence.
- He has committed a fresh offence after being released on bail, more so if the fresh offence is of the same nature.
- He has violated any other terms on which the bail was granted.
You have not mentioned in your question as to on what grounds the complainant has approached the high court for cancellation of your bail. Unless there exist some solid grounds for cancellation of bail, usually the high court would not interfere and would not cancel the bail which has been granted to you earlier.
