Section494
Bond required from child
AI Assist
Summary
When the person asked to execute a bond is a child, the court or officer may accept a bond executed by a surety or sureties instead of the child. This lets an adult guarantor stand in for the child whenever a bond is required.
Example
Priya is 15 and a magistrate orders a bond to ensure her attendance at future hearings. Because she is a child, the magistrate accepts a bond signed by Meera as surety instead of Priya signing it herself.
Bare Act
Enacted textWhen the person required by any Court, or officer to execute a bond is a child, such Court or officer may accept, in lieu thereof, a bond executed by a surety or sureties only.
