Power to order sufficient bail when that first taken is insufficient
AI Assist
Summary
If sureties taken for bail were accepted by mistake, fraud, or later become inadequate, the court can issue a warrant to bring the person released on bail back before it. The court may order that person to produce sufficient sureties and, if they fail to do so, may commit them to jail.
Example
Priya is released on bail with two sureties, but one surety later disappears and the security becomes insufficient. The court issues a warrant to bring Priya back, orders her to find sufficient sureties, and commits her to jail when she fails to do so.
Bare Act
