Power to take bond or bail bond for appearance

AI Assist

Summary

If a person who could be summoned or arrested is already present in court, the presiding officer may require them to sign a bond or a bail bond to secure their attendance. The bond can cover appearance in that court or any other court to which the case may be transferred for trial.

Example

Priya appears in court even though the officer could have issued a summons or warrant for her. The presiding officer asks Priya to execute a bond or bail bond to guarantee her appearance in this court or any court to which the case may be moved.

Bare Act

Enacted text

When any person for whose appearance or arrest the officer presiding in any Court is empowered to issue a summons or warrant, is present in such Court, such officer may require such person to execute a bond or bail bond for his appearance in such Court, or any other Court to which the case may be transferred for trial.
