Section 437A of CrPC : Section 437A: Bail To Require Accused To Appear Before Next Appellate Court

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where Mr. A has been tried in a district court for a financial fraud case. After a lengthy trial, Mr. A is convicted and sentenced to imprisonment. He decides to appeal against the judgment in the High Court. Before the conclusion of the trial, the district court, as per Section 437A of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, requires Mr. A to execute bail bonds with sureties. These bonds are to ensure that Mr. A will appear before the High Court when summoned in relation to his appeal. The bail bonds are valid for six months, and if Mr. A fails to appear before the High Court, the bonds will be forfeited and the procedure under section 446 will apply, potentially leading to further legal consequences for Mr. A.
