Holding
The court held that an extension of the surrender period may be granted, provided the petitioner deposits Rs.10,000 with the District Legal Services Authority and furnishes the receipt with the bail bond.
Summary
Petitioner Raj Kamal Gupta filed a petition seeking modification of an earlier order that required him to surrender and furnish a bail bond. The petitioner requested an extension of the surrender period. The High Court, after hearing counsel, granted an additional eight weeks for surrender, conditioned upon a deposit of Rs.10,000 to the District Legal Services Authority, the receipt of which must be produced with the bail bond. The deposited amount may be used by the civil court for furniture and beautification of its premises. The modification petition was allowed, thereby extending the surrender deadline under the stipulated conditions.
Issues considered
- Whether the period of surrender granted to the petitioner can be extended further
