Holding
The court extended the time for surrender and furnishing the bail bond by six weeks, modifying the earlier order.
Summary
The petitioners, Hira Devi and her daughters, had been granted anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. No. 81533 of 2023, with a direction to surrender before the lower court and furnish a bail bond within eight weeks. They filed an application seeking modification of the time limit, alleging they could not arrange the required funds to deposit the bail bond on time. The court considered the petitioners' inability to secure the amount and the need for a reasonable extension. It extended the period for surrender and furnishing the bail bond by six weeks from the date of the order. All other conditions of the original anticipatory bail order remained unchanged. The application for modification was therefore allowed.
