The Court held that the earlier order may be modified, extending the surrender period by four weeks, subject to payment of Rs 500 to the Legal Services Committee.
Summary
The petition was filed by Rajeev Kumar seeking modification of an earlier order dated 15 October 2025 in Criminal Miscellaneous No. 41747 of 2025. The petitioner argued, in paragraphs 4 and 5 of the petition, that the terms of surrender imposed by that order should be altered. The High Court examined whether the earlier order could be varied and whether the period of surrender could be extended. Relying on the petitioner's submissions, the Court allowed the modification, directing the petitioner to pay a fee of Rs 500 to the Patna High Court Legal Services Committee. Additionally, the Court extended the surrender period by four weeks from the date of the order. The order was thus modified subject to the stipulated payment.
