Bail to require accused to appear before next Appellate Court
AI Assist
Summary
When the trial court or an appellate court releases an accused before the trial ends or before an appeal is disposed, it must make the accused execute a bond to appear before the higher court if that court issues a notice in any appeal or petition against the judgment. The bond remains in force for six months. If the accused fails to appear, the bond is forfeited and the procedure under section 491 follows.
Example
Rohan is granted bail by the trial court before the trial concludes. The court makes him sign a bond promising to appear if a higher court issues a notice in any appeal against the judgment; the bond lasts six months. If Rohan does not appear when called, the bond is forfeited and the procedure under section 491 applies.
