Borkar, J.J. on 4th February 2022 for seeking extension of time to approach the jurisdictional Court. This Court observed that, any further extension of time to the Applicant to approach the jurisdictional Court would amount to the review of the Order dated 21st January 2022 and granted liberty to the Applicant to take appropriate steps. The Applicant thus filed this Interim Application inter-alia praying for extension of ad-interim transit bail granted to the Applicant upto 1st February 2022 for a further period of two weeks from 2nd February 2022. 4.
