Holding
The court modified the earlier order, extending the time to surrender until 26 February 2026.
Summary
The petitioners, Harikishor Mukhiya and family members, filed an application seeking a further extension of the time granted to them to surrender before the learned District Court. The original order dated 16 October 2025 had already extended the surrender deadline, but the petitioners argued that additional time was necessary and supported their request with an affidavit. The Patna High Court, after hearing counsel for both sides, considered the reasons and the affidavit submitted. The Court found the reasons satisfactory and extended the surrender deadline to 26 February 2026, modifying the earlier order to that effect. All other provisions of the 16 October 2025 order were left unchanged, and the modification application was disposed of.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate discretion of the court in granting a further extension of time for surrender before a District Court?
- Whether the petitioner's reasons and affidavit justify an additional extension of the surrender deadline.
