Section 481 of BNSS : Section 481: Bail to require accused to appear before next Appellate Court.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh is accused of theft and is currently on trial in a Sessions Court in Mumbai. Before the trial concludes, the Sessions Court requires Rajesh to execute a bail bond. This bond ensures that Rajesh will appear before the Bombay High Court if an appeal is filed against the Sessions Court's judgment. Rajesh signs the bond, which will be valid for six months. If the Bombay High Court issues a notice for an appeal within this period, Rajesh must appear before the High Court. If Rajesh fails to appear, his bond will be forfeited, and the procedure under Section 491 will be initiated, which may include issuing a warrant for his arrest.

Example 2:

Sunita is convicted of fraud by a Magistrate Court in Delhi. She decides to appeal the conviction in the Delhi High Court. Before her appeal is heard, the Magistrate Court requires Sunita to execute a bail bond to ensure her appearance before the High Court. Sunita complies and signs the bond, which is valid for six months. During this period, if the High Court issues a notice regarding her appeal, Sunita must appear before the High Court. If she does not appear, her bond will be forfeited, and the procedure under Section 491 will apply, potentially leading to her arrest and further legal consequences.
