CRL.M.A. 16636/2025 (on behalf of Petitioner seeking modification of
order dated 17th March, 2025)
1. The Applicant, a foreign national, states that he is not able to furnish a surety for being released on bail since the only relative known to him in the Country is his cousin sister, whose being a foreign national, will not be accepted as a surety. As such, through the present application, he seeks modification of the said condition to the extent that he be allowed to furnish either a personal bond or a cash surety.
2. Mr. Mukesh Kumar, APP for State, on the other hand, states that the Applicant does not have a passport and his credentials are entirely doubtful. Thus, he urges that the Applicant must furnish a surety, failing which there is a serious apprehension that he may abscond.
