[Rev. 2012] Criminal Procedure Code CAP. 75 50. Copy of order under section 47 to accompany summons or warrant Every summons or warrant issued under section 49 shall be accompanied by a copy of the order made under section 47, and the copy shall be delivered by the officer serving or executing the summons or warrant to the person served with or arrested under it. 51. Power to dispense with personal attendance The magistrate may, if he sees sufficient cause, dispense with the personal attendance of a person called upon to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond for keeping the peace, and may permit him to appear by an advocate. 52. Inquiry as to truth of information (1) When an order under section 47 has been read or explained under section 48 to a person present in court, or when any person appears or is brought before a magistrate in compliance with or in execution of a summons or warrant issued under section 49, the magistrate shall proceed to inquire into the truth of the information upon which the action has been taken, and to take such further evidence as may appear necessary. (2) The inquiry shall be made, as nearly as may be practicable, in the manner prescribed by this Code for conducting trials and recording evidence in trials before subordinate courts. (3) For the purposes of this section, the fact that a person comes within the provisions of section 46 may be proved by evidence of general repute or otherwise. (4) Where two or more persons have been associated together in the matter under inquiry they may be dealt with in the same or separate inquiries, as the magistrate thinks just. 53. Order to give security (1) If upon an inquiry it is proved that it is necessary for keeping the peace or maintaining good behaviour that the person in respect of whom the inquiry is made should be made subject to a restriction order or should execute a bond, with or without sureties, the magistrate shall make an order accordingly: Provided that— (i) no person shall be ordered to give security of a nature different from, or of an amount larger than, or for a period longer than, that specified in the order made under section 47; (ii) the amount of a bond shall be fixed with due regard to the circumstances of the case and shall not be excessive; (iii) when the person in respect of whom the inquiry is made is a minor, the bond shall be executed only by his sureties. (2) A person in respect of whom an order is made under this section may appeal to the High Court, and the provisions of Part XI (relating to appeals) shall apply to the appeal.
