Holding
The Court allowed the modification of the anticipatory bail order to correct the father's name and extended the surrender deadline by four weeks.
Summary
Petitioners Nandan Kumar and Harshit Kumar filed an application to modify the anticipatory bail order dated 02‑12‑2025, contending that the father's name was incorrectly recorded due to an inadvertent mistake. They sought correction of the name to "Anup Singh @ Sanjay Singh @ Sanjay Kumar" and an extension of the time granted for surrender. The Court examined the request, held that the error was purely clerical and did not affect the substantive rights of the parties. Accordingly, it ordered the correction of the father's name in the bail order and extended the surrender period by four weeks from the date of the order. All other conditions of the original anticipatory bail order were left unchanged.
Issues considered
- Whether an anticipatory bail order can be modified to correct a clerical error in the name of the father of the petitioners?
- Whether the time for surrender granted in the original anticipatory bail order can be extended?
Subjects
- anticipatory bail
- modification of order
