Security for unexpired period of bond
AI Assist
Summary
When a person who was summoned or had a warrant issued appears before the magistrate or court, the earlier bond is cancelled. The court then orders fresh security of the same description to cover only the unexpired portion of the original bond. That order is treated as the usual security order under the criminal procedure rules.
Example
Ravi had given a six-month bond to ensure his appearance. After a warrant was issued, he appears before the magistrate. The magistrate cancels Ravi's old bond and orders him to provide fresh security of the same kind for the unexpired months.
