1. This application under Section 430 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (Section 389 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) has been filed on behalf of the appellant seeking extension of interim suspension of sentence for a further period of 60 days on medical grounds.

2. The application is strongly opposed by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, who draws my attention to the fact that the appellant has been on interim bail since 19.05.2025 and that extensions have been sought on various grounds. He, therefore, submits that no further extension may be granted to the appellant.

3. In reply, the learned Senior Counsel submits that the earlier interim suspension of sentence granted to the appellant was on the ground that her young son had to undergo surgery, and the appellant had to take care of him post-surgery. The extension now being sought is on medical ground of the applicant/accused.

4. It is submitted by the learned Senior Counsel that the appellant has suffered a fracture on her left ankle, which is yet to heal completely and therefore, she is not in a condition to surrender. He further submits that the Jail authorities would not be able to provide her with the necessary medical assistance.

5. As extensions from 20.06.2025 till date has already been granted to the appellant on medical grounds, no further extension is granted. The appellant shall surrender before the jail authority concerned on or before 16.01.2026 at 05:30 P.M.

6. Upon surrender, the appellant shall hand over all her medical records relating to her present medical condition. The Jail Superintendent concerned shall examine the same and render necessary medical assistance to the appellant as and when necessary.

7. The Jail Superintendent concerned shall report before this Court on 19.01.2026 as to whether medical assistance, as and when required, can be provided to the appellant in jail. The medical report shall clearly indicate whether the required medical assistance can be provided to the appellant/accused in jail.

8. A copy of this order be communicated to the Jail Superintendent concerned for information and compliance.
