Section 441A of CrPC : Section 441A: Declaration By Sureties

Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where John is arrested for theft and is being presented in court. The judge decides to grant him bail. Mary, a friend of John's, wants to act as a surety for his bail. According to Section 441A of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, before she can become a surety, Mary must declare in court how many other people she is currently a surety for, including John, and provide all relevant details. This ensures that the court is aware of Mary's commitments and can assess whether she is a reliable surety for John's bail.
