It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the bail bond of the petitioner has now been cancelled. Since the present modification application has been filed much after the lapse of provisional bail and the bail bonds of petitioner has already been cancelled, this Court is not inclined to interfere. But in view of the fact that the petitioner enjoyed the privilege of anticipatory bail for considerable period and the nature of accusation, it is expected from the learned Court below to consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner, if he surrenders within a period of six weeks in connection with Majorganj P.S. Case No.276/2015, pending before the learned CJM, Sitamarhi.

According, the application is disposed of.
