Summary
The petitioner, Sunil Kumar Giri, filed a petition under Criminal Miscellaneous No.29079 of 2026 seeking modification of an earlier order dated 17.03.2026 that had set a deadline for his surrender and furnishing of a bail bond.

The Court, after hearing counsel, granted an additional ten weeks from the date of the order for the petitioner to surrender and submit the bail bond, subject to a deposit of Rs.5,000 with the District Legal Services Authority.
