Commencement of period for which security is required
AI Assist
Summary
If a court orders a person to give security while that person is serving a jail sentence, the required security period begins only after the sentence ends. In other situations the period starts on the date of the order. A Magistrate may, for sufficient reason, fix a later start date.
Example
Priya is serving a two-month jail term when a court orders her to deposit security for a future obligation. Her obligation to maintain that security will begin only after she completes the two-month sentence, not from the date of the order.
