DATED : JULY 9, 2010 P.C. :- 1 This is an application filed by the applicant seeking extention of time to furnish surety. The applicant was released on bail and was permitted to provisionally deposit cash bail of Rs. 25,000/- and thereafter to execute P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount. 2 2 Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was under the impression that he was released on cash bail and therefore, did not take steps to furnish the surety. However, at the time of committal of the case by the Metropolitan Magistrate, at that time, the applicant realized that he was to furnish surety and therefore, made an application before the Sessions Court for extention of time, however, the application was rejected. The applicant has, therefore, filed the present application. 3 Taking into consideration the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, the time to furnish surety is extended by a further period of six weeks. 4 Application is disposed of.
