ReplyDeletedifference between bail bond and surety bond.
ReplyDeletekindly reply.
Bail bond & Surety Bond:
ReplyDeleteA Bail is granted to an accused with or without sureties. In the case of self-recognizance bail (personal bond), the offender alone signs the bail bond.
Surety bond: A third party called surety (a person not the offender) signs the bond for the offender’s appearance or otherwise as directed in the bond. If the conditions in the bail bond are disobeyed the surety must help the police or court to locate the suspect or pay the sum in the bail bond.
(d) The exceptions, if any to the proposition that a Judge or Magistrate shall not try any criminal case in which he is a party or is personally interested.
ReplyDeletekindly reply
As per Section 479 CRPC, No Judge or Magistrate shall, except with the permission of the court to which an appeal lies from his court, try or commit for trial any case to or in which he is a party, or personally interested, and no Judge or Magistrate shall hear an appeal from any judgment or order passed or made by himself.
ReplyDeleteException: A Judge or Magistrate shall not be deemed to be a party to, or personally interested in, any case by reason only that he is concerned therein in a public capacity, or by reason only that he has viewed the place in which an offence is alleged to have been committed or any other place in which any other transaction material to the case is alleged to have occurred and made an inquiry in connection with the case.
what is the answer to qstn 2.c and qstn no.7 in part B. please reply
ReplyDelete2(c) Remedy is either appeal or review. Review can be made only when there is no appeal. Here in the case, appeal is preferred but dismissed by court. Hence there can be no further review. Moreover, Review can be preferred within 30 days from date of judgment but not after a period of more than a year.
ReplyDeleteQ7. Provisions of section 20 CPC are to be applied here. The suit in the court of Hyderabad is maintainable.
