====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 24-04-2019 Heard Smt. Kumari Ritambhara, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. The present petition has been filed with a prayer to modify order dated 20-09-2016 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 39095 of 2016. By the said order, while allowing the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail in respect of seven petitioners, this Court had observed that if within a period of six weeks from the date of order, petitioners surrender and pray for regular bail, the learned court below was directed to be released them on bail. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that some of the petitioners have surrendered, however some female
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.26598 of 2019(2) dt.24-04-2019 2/2 petitioners, due to unavoidable circumstances, had not surrendered and, as such, a prayer is being made for extending the time for surrendering.
The Court is of the opinion that once order is passed exercising criminal jurisdiction, there is no reason to entertain such petition, that too in a case, in which order was passed long back in the year 2016.
Accordingly, the petition stands dismissed.
