Holding
The court held that the order granting an eight‑week extension for surrender, subject to a Rs.5,000 deposit and bail‑bond, is valid and may be modified accordingly.
Summary
The petitioner, Chandan Kumar, filed a petition seeking modification of an earlier order dated 01‑09‑2025 that limited the period for his surrender. The petitioner requested an additional eight weeks to surrender and to furnish a bail‑bond, subject to a deposit of Rs.5,000 with the District Legal Services Authority. The court examined the reasons presented in the modification petition and considered the statutory discretion to extend surrender periods. It held that, given the petitioner’s circumstances, an extension with the stipulated conditions was appropriate. Consequently, the court modified the earlier order, granting an eight‑week extension and directing the deposit of Rs.5,000, and allowed the modification petition.

- Whether the court may modify the earlier order to extend the period for surrender of the petitioner
