Accused person appeared before the court

Supreme Court formulated one of the principles in relation to furnishing a bond under section 91, Cr.P.C, when an accused had been summoned by the Trial Court under section 204, Cr.P.C. to face trial in connection with a private complaint:

 If in response to the summons issued his appearance the accused person appeared before the court but failed to submit the requisite bond for his future appearance to the satisfaction of the court or to provide the required sureties then the accused person may be committed by the court to custody till he submitted the requisite bond or provided the required sureties.
