Deposit instead of recognizance
AI Assist
Summary
When a court or officer requires a person to execute a bond with or without sureties, they may allow a cash deposit or Government promissory notes instead, except when the bond is for good behaviour. The court or officer fixes the amount. The deposit then stands in place of executing the bond.
Example
Ravi is ordered by a magistrate to give a bond to ensure he appears in court. The magistrate permits Ravi to deposit cash of the required amount instead, and that deposit is accepted in place of the bond because the bond is not for good behaviour.
Bare Act
