Holding
The modification application is allowed, and the petitioners are granted an additional four weeks to surrender before the concerned court.
Summary
The petitioners, Saroj Singh and Pawan Kumar, were released on bail with a condition to surrender before the concerned court within six weeks. Due to unavoidable circumstances they were unable to comply within the stipulated period and filed an application seeking an additional four weeks to surrender. The State, represented by the Additional Public Prosecutor, raised no objection to the requested extension. The Court, after hearing counsel, considered the petitioners' circumstances and the State’s lack of objection. It allowed the modification application, granting the petitioners an extra four weeks from the date of the order to surrender. Consequently, the original bail order dated 19‑08‑2025 was modified to reflect the extended time limit.
Issues considered
- Whether the bail condition requiring surrender within six weeks can be extended on account of unavoidable circumstances.
- Whether the court may modify the existing bail order to grant additional time for surrender.
Subjects
- bail
- modification of bail order
