Bound down by executive magistrate by way of bonds


29-Jun-2026 (In Family Law)
We have executed bonds but other party has not. IO has been asked to appear on request of other party. Upon execution of bonds, Executive Magistrate has asked us you need not come now to court. Magistrate staff says that his court is only for peace and not for adducing evidence or punishment. How the case will proceed as far as we are concerned.

Keep a copy of the executed bond and any order passed by the Magistrate. Attend the court only if you receive a fresh notice or summons. Avoid any confrontation with the opposite party during the bond period, as any allegation of breach could lead to further proceedings. If the opposite party files any fresh complaint or if you receive any new notice, respond promptly.

From the facts stated, it appears to be preventive proceedings under Sections 126–129 BNSS (earlier Sections 107–116 CrPC). The Executive Magistrate does not conduct a criminal trial or determine guilt. The purpose is only to maintain public peace by obtaining bonds for good behaviour or keeping the peace. If you have already executed the bond and the Magistrate has exempted your appearance, you need only appear if specifically directed. If the opposite party has not executed the bond, the Magistrate may issue appropriate directions against them. No evidence regarding the main dispute or punishment is decided in these proceedings. If any substantive civil or criminal case exists between the parties, it will proceed independently before the competent court. Keep complying with the Magistrate's directions and attend whenever summoned.

From the facts stated, these appear to be preventive proceedings before the Executive Magistrate for maintaining peace and not a criminal trial. Since you have already executed the bond and have been exempted from appearing, no further action is required unless the court issues a fresh summons. If the opposite party fails to execute the bond, the Magistrate may take action as per law. Any separate FIR or criminal case, if pending, will continue independently before the competent court.

It seems you have been asked to execute bonds for kalandra. Did you and your neighbour enter into a fight over water or land? the bond is executed as an undertaking that you will not enter into ay fight with the other party. otherwise legal proceedings shall be initiated against you. the matter for now is over
