The Court held that the surrender period may be extended by eight weeks provided the petitioner deposits Rs 5,000 with the District Legal Services Authority and furnishes the bail‑bond.
Summary
The petitioner, Jaiprakash Singh, filed a petition seeking modification of the order dated 17‑01‑2026 which limited the period for surrender in a criminal miscellaneous case. The petitioner requested an extension of the surrender period and permission to furnish a bail‑bond subject to a monetary deposit. The Court examined whether the extension could be granted and what conditions, if any, should be imposed.
