Deposit instead of recognizance
Full Text
When any person is required by any Court or officer to execute a bond or bail bond, such Court or officer may, except in the case of a bond for good behaviour, permit him to deposit a sum of money or Government promissory notes to such amount as the Court or officer may fix in lieu of executing such bond.
Plain English Summary
Allows a person to deposit cash or government securities instead of executing a traditional bond with sureties, except for cases involving good behavior bonds.
Key Legal Elements
- Option for cash deposit instead of bond
- Acceptance of Government promissory notes
- Court discretion on deposit amount
- Exclusion of good behavior/peace bonds from this option
Practical Note
This is the legal basis for Cash Bail. It allows the accused to provide security directly to the court without a third-party surety. Note: This cannot be used for good behavior or peace-keeping bonds.

जब किसी न्यायालय या अधिकारी द्वारा किसी व्यक्ति से बांड या जमानत बांड निष्पादित करने की अपेक्षा की जाती है, तो ऐसा न्यायालय या अधिकारी, अच्छे व्यवहार के लिए बांड के मामले को छोड़कर, उसे ऐसे बांड के निष्पादन के बदले में उतनी राशि या सरकारी वचन पत्र जमा करने की अनुमति दे सकता है जितनी न्यायालय या अधिकारी तय करे।
