s 78Order to give security

If upon such inquiry it is proved that it is necessary for keeping the peace or maintaining good behaviour, as the case may be, that the person in respect of whom the inquiry is made should execute a bond, with or a without sureties, the Magistrate shall make an order accordingly:

Provided that -

(a)

no person shall be ordered to give security of a nature different from or for an amount larger than or for a period longer than that specified in the summons or warrant issued under section 75, if any;

Criminal Procedure Code

the amount of every bond shall be fixed with due regard to the circumstances of the case and shall not be excessive, but shall be such as to afford the person against whom the order is made a fair chance of complying with it;

(c)

when the person in respect of whom the inquiry is made is not competent to contract, the bond shall be executed only by his sureties.
