Holding
The bail condition is modified to require attendance on the first Sunday of each month, with default resulting in cancellation of bail.
Summary
The petitioner, Mazhar Imam, was granted bail on 13 October 2025 with a condition to appear at Samastipur Town Police Station every Sunday. He later applied to modify this condition, arguing that his employment with Win Maker Ayurveda Private Limited required him to be posted in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The Court considered whether the bail condition could be altered in light of the petitioner’s change in circumstances. It held that the condition could be modified to a less onerous requirement. Accordingly, the Court ordered that the petitioner now attend the police station on the first Sunday of each month, with any default leading to cancellation of the bail bond. The application for modification was allowed.
Issues considered
- Whether the bail condition requiring weekly police station attendance can be modified due to the petitioner’s employment posting in another state
