Holding
The Court modified the earlier order, granting a six‑week extension for surrender subject to a Rs.5,000 deposit to the District Legal Services Authority.
Summary
The petitioner, Shailendra Kumar, filed a petition seeking modification of an earlier order dated 10-10-2025 which had set a deadline for his surrender in a criminal miscellaneous case. The petition argued for an additional six weeks to surrender and to furnish a bail-bond. The Court, after hearing counsel for both parties, granted the requested extension, conditioning it on a deposit of Rs.5,000 to the District Legal Services Authority. The deposited amount may be used by the civil court for furniture and beautification of its premises. Consequently, the original order was modified to reflect the new surrender deadline and the deposit condition, and the petition was allowed.
Issues considered
- What is the appropriate period to be granted for the petitioner to surrender and furnish bail-bond?
- Is the imposition of a monetary deposit to the District Legal Services Authority permissible as a condition for extending the surrender period?
