BNSS Section 414 — Appeal from orders requiring security or refusal to accept or rejecting surety for keeping peace or good behavior

Summary

If a person has been ordered to provide a security bond to keep the peace or for good behaviour, or if a person is unhappy with a decision to reject or not accept a surety, they can appeal that order to the Court of Session. However, this right to appeal does not apply to people whose case has already been sent to a Sessions Judge under certain specific provisions of the law.
