The petitioners say that soon after this order, the second wave of COVID-19 came in and life got disrupted. They were unable to surrender before the Jurisdictional Court. However, they have been meeting the Investigating Officer once every week. They pray for extension of time to surrender before the Jurisdictional Court.
