Holding
The court modified the earlier order, granting a six‑week extension for surrender subject to a Rs 5,000 deposit with the District Legal Services Authority and submission of the receipt with the bail‑bond.
Summary
The petitioner, Kumar Rishabh, filed a petition (Cr. Misc. No.33401 of 2025) seeking modification of an earlier order dated 07.01.2025 that had extended the period for surrender in a criminal case. The petition argued that further time was required to surrender and furnish a bail‑bond. The Patna High Court, after hearing counsel, granted an additional six‑week extension, subject to the petitioner depositing Rs 5,000 with the District Legal Services Authority and furnishing the receipt with the bail‑bond. Accordingly, the earlier order was modified to reflect these conditions. The court allowed the modification petition, illustrating its discretion to adjust procedural timelines in bail matters with reasonable safeguards.
Issues considered
- Whether the court may modify an earlier order extending the period for surrender in a criminal case
- Whether imposing a monetary deposit and receipt requirement is a valid condition for granting further extension
