Disposal
DISPOSED

Holding

The Court modified the earlier order, extending the surrender deadline to 26‑02‑2026.

Summary

The petitioners, Subodh Singh and Sudhanshu Singh, filed a criminal miscellaneous application seeking a further extension of the time granted to them to surrender before the learned District Court. An earlier order dated 26‑11‑2025 had already extended the surrender deadline. The petitioners submitted reasons and an affidavit supporting the need for an additional extension. The Court, after considering the reasons and the affidavit, extended the surrender deadline to 26‑02‑2026. The Court modified the earlier order to reflect this new date while leaving the remaining provisions unchanged. The modification application was thereafter disposed of.

Issues considered

  • Whether the Court may further extend the time for surrender granted to the petitioners under the earlier order
  • Whether the reasons and affidavit filed by the petitioners justify an additional extension

Subjects

  • Criminal Procedure Code
  • extension of time
  • surrender
  • modification of order
  • court discretion
