BNSS 492 — Cancellation of bond and bail bond

Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023

Statutory text

Without prejudice to the provisions of section 491, where
a bond or bail bond under this Sanhita is for appearance of a person in a case and it is forfeited for breach
of a condition,—
(a) the bond executed by such person as well as the bond, if any, executed by one or more of his
sureties in that case shall stand cancelled; and
(b) thereafter no such person shall be released only on his own bond in that case, if the police officer
or the Court, as the case may be, for appearance before whom the bond was executed, is satisfied that
there  was  no  sufficient  cause  for  the  failure  of  the  person  bound  by  the  bond  to  comply  with  its
condition:
Provided that subject to any other provisions of this Sanhita he may be released in that case upon the
execution of a fresh personal bond for such sum of money and bond by one or more of such sureties as the
police officer or the Court, as the case may be, thinks sufficient.
