Bail to require accused to appear before next appellate Court
AI Assist
Summary
Before the trial is finally concluded or an appeal disposed, the court can make the accused execute bail bonds with sureties to ensure they will appear before the higher court if that court issues notice about any appeal or petition. The bond remains in force for six months. If the accused fails to appear the bond is forfeited and the procedure under section 446 applies.
Example
Priya is convicted in a trial court but the court has not finally closed the case; the court asks her to sign bail bonds with two sureties promising to appear before the appellate court if it issues a notice. The bond is valid for six months. If Priya later ignores a notice, the bond will be forfeited and recovery will follow under section 446.
