Cases- cum- V Additional District and Sessions judge, Nellore. 2. The petitioner along with threeother accused approached the learned Sessions Judge by filing Crl.M.P.No.166 of 2008 seeking anticipatory bail. The learned Sesssions passedthe following order on 24-10-2008: “Heard. On perusal of the record, the prosecution already examined L.Ws.1 and 2 and recorded their statements. There is a case and counter also pending between the parties. In the above circumstances, the petitioners are to be released on bail. In the result, the petitioners are directed to surrender before learned IV A.J.F.C.M., Nellore, within one week from the date of this order and on such surrender, the learned Magistrate is directed to release the petitioners on bail on their executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate.” 3. The present application has been filed seeking extensionof time. 4. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent- State. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner could not surrender before the Court concerned within a week due to ill-health. No material has beenplaced before me that the petitioner fell ill for about a year from the date of passing of the order in Crl.M.P.No.166 of 2008. 6. In the absence of reasons for not reporting before the Court concerned, within a week as ordered inCrl.M.P.No.166 of 2008, I do not see any valid ground to extend the period for surrender himself. 7.
