Holding
The surrender period is extended by two weeks subject to a deposit of Rs 2,000, modifying the earlier order.
Summary
The petitioner, Tuntun Kumar, filed an application seeking modification of an earlier order dated 21‑01‑2026 which prescribed a surrender period in connection with PS‑Case No. 362 of 2023. The petitioner argued that a communication gap between his counsel and him warranted an extension of the surrender deadline. The Court, after hearing counsel for both sides, noted the communication lapse and agreed to extend the surrender period by two weeks from the date the order is received or produced. The extension was conditioned upon the petitioner depositing Rs 2,000 in the account of the District Legal Services Authority. Consequently, the Court modified the earlier order accordingly and disposed of the modification application.
Issues considered
- Whether the surrender period prescribed in the earlier order should be extended due to alleged communication gap between counsel and petitioner?
Subjects
- Criminal Procedure Code
