The Order is downloaded from the DHC Server on 17/02/2025 at 17:21:55 wherein the Court directed the applicant to surrender before the Court concerned on or before 10th February, 2025 before 4 P.M, thereby extending his period of surrender. The paragraph no. 7 of the said order is read as under – “Accordingly, the applicant is directed to surrender before the Court Concerned on or before 10th February, 2025 by 4:00 PM and upon surrendering, the sureties/bail bond, if any shall stand discharged. It is made clear that if the applicant fails to surrender as directed, the investigating agency shall take appropriate steps to take the applicant in custody to secure his presence.” 8. In view of the fact that this Court had on earlier occasion i.e., on 3rd February, 2025 already granted the relief of extending the period of applicant’s surrender before the Court concerned, it is not inclined to extend the same any further. Therefore, this Court finds no cogent reasons to allow the instant applications. 9. Accordingly, the instant applications stand dismissed.
