   The matter was listed for 14 August 2025 at 12:00 PM for verification of surrender.

3. Strict Warning:
   Lack of official communication of the order is not an excuse for non-compliance, as Respondent No. 2’s counsel was present in court.
   Further orders will be passed based on the surrender status on 14 August 2025.

4. Legal Basis:
   The Court exercised its inherent powers (under Article 136 and CrPC) to intervene in bail grants threatening judicial integrity.

Core Outcome:

The Supreme Court prioritized urgent judicial intervention by suspending Respondent No. 2’s bail and mandating immediate surrender. The order underscores strict adherence to procedural discipline, warning against exploiting procedural delays. It reinforces the judiciary’s authority to ensure compliance with its directives.
