Power to take bond for appearance
AI Assist
Summary
When a person who could be summoned or arrested appears in court, the presiding officer may require them to execute a bond, with or without sureties, to secure their appearance. The bond can be for that court or any other court to which the case may be transferred.
Example
Rohan was produced in court after his arrest on a neighbour's complaint. Since the presiding officer could have issued a warrant for his arrest, the officer required Rohan to sign a bond with a surety to guarantee he will appear for trial, even if the case is moved to another court.
