1.

Normally this Court would not have granted indulgence in extending the temporary bail granted to the Applicant by the Special Court. The Special Court under the MCOC Act had granted temporary bail to the Applicant on 14.07.2021 initially for a period of one month on the ground that the father of the Applicant is suffering from blood cancer and was required to be looked after, inasmuch as the mother of the Applicant was also not well. That order has been extended on 20.08.2021 and 13.12.2021.

2.

The learned Special Judge by an order dated 09.03.2022 has refused to grant further extension and has directed the Applicant to surrender today.

The learned counsel for the Applicant submits that some time is required to the Applicant to make alternate arrangement of a caretaker, who can look after the father of the Applicant as according to the learned counsel, the mother of the Applicant is not still well.

Considering the circumstances and the ground made out, nature of ailment and the report from Sassoon hospital, the period for surrender is extended till 01.04.2022. 7.
