Holding
The court extended the surrender period by three weeks subject to a deposit of Rs.4,000.
Summary
The petitioner, Sanjeev Kumar, filed an application seeking modification of an earlier order that set a deadline for his surrender in a criminal miscellaneous case. He claimed that a communication gap prevented him from surrendering within the prescribed time. The court considered the petitioner's explanation and, recognizing the need for fairness, extended the surrender period by three weeks from the date the order is produced. The extension was conditioned upon the petitioner depositing Rs.4,000 with the District Legal Services Authority. The court modified the earlier order accordingly and disposed of the modification application.
Issues considered
- Whether the surrender period granted to the petitioner can be extended on account of a communication gap
