Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The Court allowed a further one-week extension for the petitioner to furnish the bail bonds.

Summary

The petitioner, Gobardhan Chauhan, had been granted anticipatory bail on 13-02-2025 in Criminal Miscellaneous No.63149 of 2024. He failed to furnish the required bail bonds within the time prescribed due to unavoidable circumstances. The petitioner sought a further extension of time to submit the bail bonds. The Court considered the request and, finding no substantive objection, allowed an additional one-week period for the petitioner to comply. Consequently, the earlier order granting anticipatory bail was modified to extend the deadline for furnishing bail bonds.

Issues considered

  • Whether the Court can extend the time for furnishing bail bonds after anticipatory bail has been granted

Subjects

  • anticipatory bail
  • extension of time
  • bail bonds
  • criminal procedure
