Is it safe to be a surety for someone?


02-Apr-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Is it safe to be a surety for someone in india? A person in my contacts is acused for 392 and 394 and asking me to be his surety (jamindar) in court. Is it safe to be a surety and will it impact my IT career in any ways? I have heard that it when I will switch my job it will reflect in the verification and there are chances I will be rejected. Is it true?

No,
It is simple to be a surety for appearance of accused in court for his case hearing in court.Therefore you can become surety only your liability is to the amount fixed by court for release of accused.After release of accused from court on surety and he fails to appear in court. Then you should have to pay amount of surety in court for non appearance of accused.
