Criminal Procedure Code 193 Amount of bond 389. The amount of every bond executed under this Chapter shall be fixed with due regard to the circumstances of the case as being sufficient to secure the attendance of the person arrested, but shall not be excessive; and a Judge may, in any case, whether there be an appeal on conviction or not, direct that any person be admitted to bail or that the bail required by a police officer or Court be reduced or increased. Bond to be executed 390. (1) Before any person is released on bail, or released on his own bond, a bond for such sum of money as the police officer or Court, as the case may be, thinks sufficient shall be executed by that person, and when he is released on bail by one or more sufficient sureties, conditioned that person shall attend at the time and place mentioned in the bond, and shall continue so to attend until otherwise directed by the police officer or Court, as the case may be. (2) If the case so requires the bond shall also bind the person released on bail to appear when called upon at the High Court or other Court to answer the charge. Person to be released 391. (1) As soon as the bond has been executed the person for whose appearance it has been executed shall be released and when he is in prison the Court admitting him to bail shall issue an order of release to the officer in charge of the prison, and that officer, on receipt of the order, shall release him. (2) Nothing in this section, section 387 or 388 shall be deemed to require the release of any person liable to be detained for some matter other than that in respect of which the bond was executed.
