It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that vide order dated 12.02.2020 passed in A.B.A. No.7904 of 2019, the petitioners were given the privileges of anticipatory bail and directed to surrender before the court below within four months upon their undertaking to jointly deposit a demand draft of Rs.50,000/- drawn in favour of the informant. It is next submitted that
due to paucity of money, the petitioners could not make the said demand draft within the stipulated time, hence, they could not surrender within the stipulated time. It is next submitted that in the meantime the petitioners have arranged the money and prepared the said demand draft and the copy of the same has been annexed with the brief. It is further submitted that now the petitioners are ready and willing to surrender before the learned court below and unless six weeks’ extension is granted to them, they will be highly prejudiced. Hence, it is submitted that the time period for the petitioners to surrender before the court below in terms of the order dated 12.02.2020 passed in A.B.A. No.7904 of 2019 be extended by six weeks from the date of this order.
Considering the aforesaid submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners, the prayer for extension of time for the petitioners to surrender in in the court below in terms of the order dated 12.02.2020 passed in A.B.A. No.7904 of 2019 is allowed. Accordingly, the order dated 12.02.2020 passed in A.B.A. No.7904 of 2019 is modified by directing the petitioners to surrender within six weeks from the date of this order, in terms of the order dated 12.02.2020 passed in A.B.A. No.7904 of 2019.
