Holding
The court modified the bail order to include verification of the petitioner’s criminal antecedent, provision for cancellation if involved in other cases, and extended the surrender period, disposing of the modification application.
Summary
The petitioner, Sanjiv Kumar, sought modification of a regular bail order dated 06-01-2026 which granted bail with a condition that his bail bond would be cancelled if he was found involved in any case other than the one specified. The petitioner argued that paragraph 8 of the order conflicted with paragraph 3, which already listed another case (Shastrinagar P.S. Case No. 551 of 2021) in which he was an accused. The court modified the bail order to require verification of the petitioner’s criminal antecedent and to cancel the bail bond if he is involved in any case not mentioned in paragraph 3 of the original order. Additionally, the court extended the time for the petitioner to surrender by four weeks. All other conditions of the original bail order remained unchanged, and the modification application was disposed of.
Issues considered
- Whether the bail order can be modified to include a condition of verification of the petitioner’s criminal antecedent and cancellation of bail if involved in other cases
- Whether the time for surrender can be extended by the court
