Holding
The Court allowed the modification application, extending the surrender period to six weeks from the date of the order while leaving other conditions intact.
Summary
The petitioners, Md. Akbar and Md. Saddam, were granted anticipatory bail on 18‑12‑2025 in connection with PS case No. 192 of 2025, with a condition to surrender before the lower court within four weeks. They filed a modification application seeking an extension of the surrender period, citing reasons set out in paragraph 5 of their application. The Patna High Court considered whether the surrender deadline could be altered without disturbing the other bail conditions. The Court held that the surrender period could be extended and ordered a six‑week extension from the date of the modification order, keeping all other conditions unchanged. Consequently, the modification application was allowed, effectively amending the original anticipatory bail order.
