When the matter is taken up for hearing, the learned Government Advocate (crl.side) submitted that the bail was already granted to the petitioner for the offence under Sections 296(b), 118(1) and 351(3) f BNS and thereafter, the Sections were altered to 296(b), 118(1), 351(3) and 109 of BNS.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that due to alteration in the first information report, the petitioner could not execute the sureties before the concerned Magistrate. 3.Since this Court had already granted bail to the petitioner and thereafter, the Sections were altered, bail cannot be granted to the petitioner once again.

This Court has also extended the time to execute the sureties before the trial Court for a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis 1/2
