Order to give security
AI Assist
Summary
If after inquiry the magistrate finds security necessary to keep the peace or ensure good behaviour, the magistrate can order the person to execute a bond, with or without sureties. The bond’s nature, amount and duration must not be different from, larger than, or longer than what was previously fixed; the amount must suit the circumstances and not be excessive. If the person is a minor, only the sureties execute the bond.
Example
Rohan repeatedly threatens his neighbour and the magistrate, after inquiry, finds security is needed to keep the peace. The magistrate orders Rohan to execute a bond for a fixed amount with a surety; if Rohan had been a minor, only the surety would have to sign the bond.
