Statutory text

[446A.  Cancellation  of  bond  and  bail  bond.—Without  prejudice  to  the  provisions  of  section  446,  where  a bond under this Code 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 Code 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.]
