Holding
The court deleted the condition requiring the petitioner to attend the police station monthly, allowing the modification application.
Summary
Om Prakash Lal was granted bail by the Patna High Court on 10 April 2024 with a condition to appear at Pirbahore Police Station on the first Sunday of each month. He later applied for modification, stating that he needed to accompany his family for medical treatment in Delhi and could not comply with the attendance condition. The court considered the request and, finding no substantive reason to retain the condition, deleted the specific attendance requirement while leaving the rest of the bail order intact. The modification application was therefore allowed. The petitioner’s bail remains in force, but without the monthly police attendance condition.
Issues considered
- Whether a bail condition requiring periodic police attendance can be modified on the ground of the bailer's personal circumstances
Subjects
- bail
- modification
- police attendance condition
- personal circumstances
- Criminal Procedure Code
