The present modification application has been preferred seeking prayer for further extension of six months of the provisional bail so that the balance amount of Rs. 18,60,000/- could be deposited by the petitioner. The petitioner has already been granted one year time for depositing the amount, in question. Both the earlier orders were passed on the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner. This is the second modification application.

I find no reason for extending the period and the provisional bail granted to the petitioner vide order dated 30.03.2016 passed in Cr. Misc.
