The court allowed the modification, granting the petitioner an additional four weeks to surrender.
Summary
The petitioner, Md. Kalam, was released on bail on 14-10-2025 with a condition to surrender to the concerned court within six weeks. He was unable to do so due to unavoidable circumstances and applied for an extension of four weeks to comply with the surrender condition. The State, represented by an Assistant Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the request. The High Court, after hearing both sides, allowed the modification application and granted the petitioner an additional four weeks from the date of the order to surrender. Consequently, the original bail order was modified to reflect the extended time period.
