Criminal Procedure Code

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.
