Holding
The modification petition is allowed subject to payment of Rs.1,000 and the surrender period is extended by four weeks.
Summary
The petitioner, Dipak Paswan, filed a petition seeking modification of an earlier order that had extended his time to surrender and furnish a bail bond in a case under the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act. The original order, dated 17‑02‑2026, granted a further four‑week extension. The court examined whether the extension could be altered and whether any conditions should be imposed. It held that the modification petition should be allowed, but conditioned the order on the petitioner paying Rs.1,000 to the Patna High Court Legal Services Committee. Consequently, the surrender period was further extended by another four weeks from the date of the order.
Issues considered
- Whether the order extending the surrender period and bail bond can be modified
- Whether the petitioner must pay a fee to the Legal Services Committee as a condition for modification
Subjects
