Summary
The petitioner, Pramod Kumar, filed an application seeking modification of an anticipatory bail order dated 16-10-2025, which required him to surrender within four weeks.

The court, after considering the petitioner's health condition, extended the surrender period by two weeks from the date of the order, imposing a condition that the petitioner deposit Rs.10,000 in the Benevolent Fund of the Advocate Association. The application was allowed, and the modified terms were ordered.
