Security
Full Text
(1) Where the defendant fails to show such cause the Court shall order him either to deposit in Court money or other property sufficient to answer the claim against him, or to furnish security for his appearance at any time when called upon while the suit is pending and until satisfaction of any decree that may be passed against him in the suit, or make such order as it thinks fit in regard to the sum which may have been paid by the defendant under the proviso to the last preceding rule.
(2) Every surety for the appearance of a defendant shall bind himself, in default of such appearance, to pay any sum of money which the defendant may be ordered to pay in the suit.
Plain English Summary
Directs the court to order the defendant to deposit money/property or furnish an appearance bond with solvent surety upon failing to show cause, with the surety undertaking personal liability to satisfy the decretal sum on default.
Key Legal Elements
- Failure to Show Cause: Triggers mandatory order to deposit property/funds or furnish personal appearance security.
- Duration of Obligation: Endures throughout the pendency of the suit and until the satisfaction of the eventual decree.
- Surety's Personal Liability (Sub-rule 2): Surety undertakes joint and several liability to pay the entire decretal sum if the defendant fails to appear.
- Enforceability Against Surety: Executable directly under Section 145 CPC without instituting a separate suit against the surety.
Practical Note
Surety's Extensive Liability under Section 145 CPC: 1. Nature of Bond: Under Sub-rule (2), the surety does not merely guarantee appearance; his bond creates a financial guarantee to pay the decretal sum if the defendant defaults in appearing when summoned. The liability becomes absolute the moment the defendant absconds. 2. Direct Execution: Under Section 145 CPC, the decree-holder can proceed against the properties of the surety in execution of the decree without filing an independent suit on the surety bond.
