By way of the present petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India read with section 528 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, the petitioner seeks extension of parole that was granted by this court vide order dated 09.12.2025 made in W.P.(CRL) No. 3141/2025.

bail must be filed as an application in the petition in which interim bail was originally granted. The court has observed as follows: "6.
After discussing the matter with the concerned officials of the Registry, this court is of the view, that a prayer for extension of interim bail ought to be filed by way of a CRL.M.(BAIL) in the main bail petition in which interim bail was first granted, even if the first petition stands disposed-of. A prayer for extension of interim bail must not be filed by way of a fresh substantive bail petition, since that makes it difficult for the court, for the prosecution branch, as well as for the jail administration, to crossreference the grounds taken and the documents relied upon by a petitioner; and the stand taken and the documents verified by the Investigating Officer, for grant of interim bail in the first instance. Such cross-referencing is relevant and material for deciding a prayer for extension of interim bail."
3.
In keeping with the same principle, this court is of the view that a prayer for extension of parole must also be filed by way of an application in the petition in which parole was originally granted, even if that petition stands disposed-of.
4.
For sake of clarity, it may also be observed that the filing of an application seeking extension of parole would not amount to review, recall, correction, clarification and modification of the earlier order; and it would therefore not be necessary to list the petition before the Bench that passed the original order. Consequently, the filing of a prayer for extension of parole in the original petition, and its listing before the concerned Roster Bench, would not fall foul of Practice Directions dated 27.05.2025 issued by the Delhi High Court. 5.
Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to file for extension of parole by way of a miscellaneous application in the petition in which the parole was initially granted.

Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed-of. ANUP JAIRAM BHAMBHANI, J JANUARY 9, 2026/ak The authenticity of the order can be re-verified from Delhi High Court Order Portal by scanning the QR code shown above.
