CHIRANJILAL Vs. STATE

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an application by Chiranjilal and Har Sukh (hereinafter to be described as sureties) to revise the order of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Tonk, forfeiting the surety bonds filed by these sureties, and ordering the realisation of the amount of the bonds from them.

(2.) A criminal case was pending before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Tonk, against one Sheel Sagar under secs. 307/147 I. P. C. The accused was ordered to be released on bail, and the sureties executed surety bonds in the sum of Rs. 250/- each. On one of the dates fixed the accused did not appear before the Court, and the learned Magistrate called upon the sureties to show cause why the bonds be not forfeited and the security money be not realised from them. The sureties filed their objections, but the bonds were ultimately forfeited on the 20th of November, 1950, and the Court made an order to recover the security money by attachment and sale of the immovable property of the sureties.
