Summary
The petitioner, a labourer working out of state, filed a petition to modify the bail order dated 28-01-2026, claiming he was unaware of the bail grant and missed the surrender deadline. The court considered whether the surrender period could be extended given the petitioner's lack of knowledge and circumstances. It held that the surrender period could be extended by three weeks from the receipt of the modification order. The extension was conditioned upon the petitioner depositing Rs.2000 with the District Legal Services Authority. Consequently, the original bail order was modified accordingly and the modification application was disposed.
Issues considered
