Holding
The petitioner has no criminal antecedent, and the bail order is modified to remove the antecedent verification condition and extend the surrender period by two weeks.
Summary
The petitioner, Pintu Yadav, sought modification of a bail order dated 26.03.2025 which required verification of his criminal antecedent before release. He argued that a pending case (Fatehpur (Gurpa O.P.) P.S. Case No. 43 of 2020) had resulted in a final report declaring him innocent and a cognizance order indicating no trial was taken. The court examined the final report and cognizance order and found that the petitioner indeed had no criminal antecedent. Consequently, the court held that the bail condition concerning antecedent verification was unnecessary. The period of surrender was extended by two weeks, and the original bail order was modified accordingly. The application for modification was thereafter disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner has any criminal antecedent that justifies the bail condition imposed in the order dated 26.03.2025
- Whether the bail order should be modified and the surrender period extended in view of the findings of the final report and cognizance order

2 30-01-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned
APP for the State.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that in
the order dated 26.03.2025 one of the conditions relates to
verification of the criminal antecedent of the petitioner before
releasing him on bail, a case bearing Fatehpur (Gurpa O.P.) P.S.
Case No. 43 of 2020 dated 12.03.2020 has said to be pending
against him. However, in the present application, it has been
pointed out that in the said FIR, final form was submitted in
favour of the petitioner wherein he has been held to be innocent
and the cognizance order dated 18.09.2025 (Annexure-P/3) also
clarifies the position that the petitioner was not sent up for trial
and no cognizance was also taken differing with the final report.

two weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this
