Ramniwas Kumar v. The State of Bihar
Case brief
What is this about?
Short oral order of the Patna High Court dated 11-07-2025 by Justice Chandra Shekhar Jha allowing Criminal Miscellaneous No. 29674 of 2025, a modification petition filed by Ramniwas Kumar against The State of Bihar, arising out of PS Case No.-52 of 2019, Khiri More police station, Patna district. The petitioner had missed the surrender deadline fixed by the earlier High Court order dated 07.03.2025 in Cr. Misc. No. 8783 of 2025 due to personal difficulties; the Court extended the timeline, directing surrender before the trial court within two weeks, with the earlier order to be read subject to this modification. Counsel: Sunil Kumar (petitioner); Renu Kumari, APP (State). Useful for matters on extension of surrender deadlines and modification petitions in criminal miscellaneous proceedings.
What did the court decide?
Present modification petition allowed with modification: petitioner/accused Ramniwas Kumar granted a fresh window of two weeks to surrender before the learned trial court, and the earlier order dated 07.03.2025 in Cr. Misc. No. 8783 of 2025 is to be read with this modification qua petitioner Ramniwas Kumar.
