Decided: 29 September 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The court granted a six‑week extension of time for the applicant to furnish the surety.

Summary

The applicant, Deepak Kumar Dhuli, filed a criminal bail application and was required to furnish a surety as per the order dated 8 January 2026. The applicant’s counsel, Mr. Rizwan Merchant, sought an extension of time to comply with the surety requirement. The court considered whether it was appropriate to grant a further period given the circumstances and the need to balance the rights of the accused with the interests of justice. Exercising its discretion, the court granted a six‑week extension as a last chance for the applicant to furnish the surety. Consequently, the interim application for extension was disposed of, and the bail proceedings were allowed to continue pending compliance.
