Section 141 of BNSS : Section 141: Imprisonment in default of security.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh, a resident of Mumbai, was involved in a neighborhood dispute and was ordered by a Magistrate under Section 125 to provide a security bond of ₹50,000 to ensure he keeps the peace for one year. Rajesh failed to provide the security bond by the specified date. As a result, the Magistrate ordered that Rajesh be committed to prison until he either provides the security bond or the one-year period expires. Rajesh remained in prison for two months before his family managed to arrange the security bond, which was then submitted to the Magistrate, leading to his release.

Example 2:

Sunita, from Delhi, was previously involved in a case where she was required to execute a bail bond under Section 136 to ensure good behavior for six months. However, during this period, Sunita was found to have breached the conditions of her bail bond by engaging in a public altercation. The Magistrate, after recording the evidence of the breach, ordered Sunita's arrest and detention in prison for the remaining period of the bail bond. Sunita was detained for the remaining four months of the bond period, in addition to facing potential further legal consequences for her actions.

Example 3:

Vikram, a businessman in Bangalore, was ordered by a Magistrate to provide security for good behavior for a period of two years under Section 128. Vikram failed to provide the required security. The Magistrate issued a warrant for Vikram's detention and referred the case to the Sessions Judge. The Sessions Judge, after reviewing the case and giving Vikram an opportunity to be heard, decided that Vikram should be detained in prison until he provides the security or the two-year period expires. Vikram was imprisoned but later managed to provide the security after six months, leading to his release.

Example 4:

In a village in Uttar Pradesh, two individuals, Ramesh and Suresh, were involved in a communal dispute and were both ordered to provide security for keeping the peace for one year. Ramesh provided the security, but Suresh did not. The Magistrate referred Suresh's case to the Sessions Judge. Since both cases were related, the Sessions Judge also reviewed Ramesh's case. The Judge decided that Suresh should be detained in prison until he provides the security or the one-year period expires. Ramesh's case was closed as he had already provided the security.

Example 5:

Anita, a resident of Kolkata, was ordered to provide security for good behavior under Section 127 for a period of one year. Anita failed to provide the security and was detained in prison. After three months, Anita's family managed to arrange the security and tendered it to the officer in charge of the jail. The officer referred the matter to the Magistrate, who then ordered Anita's release upon verification of the security.

Example 6:

Ravi, from Chennai, was ordered to provide security for good behavior under Section 129 for a period of six months. Ravi failed to provide the security and was detained in prison. The imprisonment was rigorous as directed by the Magistrate. After four months, Ravi's friends managed to arrange the security and submitted it to the Magistrate, leading to Ravi's release.
