Holding
The court refused to modify the anticipatory bail order and rejected the petition for extension.
Summary
Ganesh Thakur, a resident of Supaul, was granted anticipatory bail on 4 October 2024 with a condition to deposit Rs. 3,000 per month into the account of the second opposite party. He filed an application on 16 January 2026 seeking a two‑week extension to execute the bail bond, claiming poverty and inability to make the deposits while residing in another state. The petitioner’s counsel argued that the extension was necessary to comply with the bail condition. The court examined the petitioner’s failure to adhere to the original terms and considered the request for modification. Concluding that the petitioner had not complied with the stipulated conditions, the court declined to modify the bail order and rejected the application.
