Deposit instead of recognizance
AI Assist
Summary
If a Court or officer requires a person to execute a bond or bail bond, they may permit the person to deposit a sum of money or Government promissory notes instead, for an amount the Court or officer fixes. This option is not available for bonds that are for good behaviour. The deposit then stands in place of executing the bond.
Example
Priya is ordered by the magistrate to furnish a bail bond after a minor neighbour dispute. The magistrate allows her to deposit cash or Government promissory notes equal to the fixed amount, so her deposit takes the place of the bail bond.
Bare Act
Enacted textWhen any person is required by any Court or officer to execute a bond or bail bond, such Court or officer may, except in the case of a bond for good behaviour, permit him to deposit a sum of money or Government promissory notes to such amount as the Court or officer may fix in lieu of executing such bond.
