No.3063/2025 by the Court of LXVI Addl. City Civil & Sessions Judge, Bengaluru (for short, 'the Sessions Court') vide order dated 19.04.2025. 2. Petitioner had filed Crl. Misc.

Vide order dated 19.04.2025 passed by the Sessions Court, Crl. Misc. No.3063/2025 was allowed subject to certain conditions. Condition no.1 imposed by the Sessions Court while disposing of Crl. Misc. No.3063/2025, reads as under: "1. The petitioner shall appear before the concerned Investigation Officer within 15 days from the date of this order without fail." - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:19082 CRL.P No. 7261 of 2025 3. Seeking relaxation of the aforesaid condition, petitioner had filed an application before the Sessions Court in Crl. Misc. No.3063/2025, which was dismissed on 29.05.2025. Therefore, petitioner is before this Court. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that due to medical condition of the petitioner, he could not comply with condition no.1 imposed by the Sessions Court in Crl. Misc. No.3063/2025, and if a week's time is granted, he will comply with the said condition. 5. Learned HCGP fairly does not oppose the prayer made by the petitioner. 6. Considering the fact that the petitioner has been granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court in Crl. Misc. No.3063/2025 imposing certain conditions, which he could not comply due to his health condition, I am of the opinion that the prayer made by the petitioner requires to be granted. Accordingly, the following order: 7. Petition is allowed. The time granted to the petitioner by the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl. Misc. No.3063/2025 - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:19082 CRL.P No. 7261 of 2025 disposed of on 19.04.2025, to appear before the Investigation Officer is extended by a further period of one week from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order.
