Holding
The court modified the anticipatory bail order, extending the period for furnishing the bail bond by four weeks.
Summary
The petitioner, Sourav Yadav, had been granted anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc. No.50666 of 2025, subject to furnishing a bail bond within four weeks. The petitioner claimed that the order was not communicated in time, preventing him from complying with the bond requirement. He filed an application seeking modification of the order to extend the period for furnishing the bail bond. The court, after hearing the parties, allowed the modification application. It extended the period for furnishing the bail bond by an additional four weeks from the date of the order. The original order dated 04-11-2025 was thereby modified to reflect the extended timeframe.
