if the person executes a bond with sufficient sureties for his attendance before the
court at a specified time and thereafter until otherwise directed by the court, the
officer to whom the warrant is directed shall take the security and shall release the
person from custody.
(2) The endorsement shall state—
(a) the number of sureties;
(b) the amount in which they and the person for whose arrest the warrant
is issued are to be respectively bound; and
(c) the time at which he is to attend before the court.
(3) Whenever security is taken under this section, the officer to whom the
warrant is directed shall forward the bond to the court.
104. Warrants, to whom directed
(1) A warrant of arrest may be directed to one or more police officers, or to one
police officer and to all other police officers of the area within which the court has
jurisdiction, or generally to all police officers of the area:
Provided that a court issuing a warrant may, if its immediate execution is
necessary, and no police officer is immediately available, direct it to any other
person or persons, and such person or persons shall execute the same.
(2) When a warrant is directed to more officers or persons than one, it may be
executed by all or by any one or more of them.
105. Warrants may be directed to landholders, etc.

of his jurisdiction for the arrest of an escaped convict or person who has been
accused of a cognizable offence and has eluded pursuit.
(2) The landholder, farmer or manager shall acknowledge in writing the receipt
of the warrant and shall execute it if the person for whose arrest it was issued is in
or enters on his land or farm or the land under his charge.
(3) When the person against whom the warrant is issued is arrested, he shall
be made over with the warrant to the nearest police officer, who shall cause him
to be taken before a magistrate having jurisdiction, unless security is taken under
section 103.
106. Execution of warrant directed to police officer
