SL. No Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGES’S ORDERS BA1 No.935 of 2024 Hon’ble Ravindra Maithani, J. Mr. Deep Chandra Joshi, Advocate for the applicant. Ms. Manisha Rana Singh, Deputy Advocate General for the State. Mr. Mani Kumar, Advocate for the informant. Applicant was in judicial custody in FIR/Crime No.545 of 2023, under Sections 302, 504 and 506 IPC and 3/25 of the Arms Act, 1959, Police Station Rudrapur, District Udham Singh Nagar. The applicant was granted short term bail on 12.12.2024 on the ground of his health condition. Now, a Time Extension Application, IA No.07 of 2025, has been filed. Learned counsel for the informant would submit that the applicant is not unwell; he was diagnosed with Spondylitis at AIIMS, Rishikesh and the witnesses are being threatened because the parties are close relatives. If the witnesses are being threatened, the witnesses may approach under the Witness Protection Scheme, so that necessary steps may be taken. The matter is being reconsidered on health grounds. Certain documents have been filed. What was told before the Court initially was that the applicant is 70 years of age; he is unwell; he finds difficulty in swallowing food; he is a patient of Hepatitis-C. Learned counsel for the applicant now submits that the applicant should be admitted in the hospital. Having considered, without adverting to the merits, purely on humanitarian ground, the Court is of the view that the Time Extension Application deserves to be allowed. The Time Extension Application is allowed. The short term bail of the applicant is further extended to the period of four weeks from the date of its expiry. It is further directed that on expiry of the duration of extended short term bail, the applicant shall surrender before the court concerned and a certificate be produced before this Court. List the regular bail application on 17.02.2024. (Ravindra Maithani J.) 10.01.2025 Ravi
