Summary
The petitioners, Ajay Rai and Viswanath Paswan, filed a modification application seeking correction of their fathers' names in an anticipatory bail order dated 24‑09‑2025 and an extension of time to furnish bail bond. They submitted a supplementary affidavit showing that each father is known by two names as per their Aadhaar cards. The State did not contest the submission. The Court, after considering the affidavit, ordered that the fathers' names be read as “Late Jawahir Rai @ Late Jang Bahadur Rai” and “Mahesh Paswan @ Bhuil Paswan” respectively, and extended the period for furnishing the bail bond by six weeks. The earlier bail order was accordingly modified and the modification application was disposed of.
