CAP. 75
Criminal Procedure Code
[Rev. 2012]
(2) If sufficient cause is not shown and the penalty is not paid, the court may
proceed to recover it by issuing a warrant for the attachment and sale of the
movable property belonging to that person, or his estate if he is dead.
(3) A warrant may be executed within the local limits of the jurisdiction of
the court which issued it; and it shall authorize the attachment and sale of the
movable property belonging to the person without those limits, when endorsed by
a magistrate within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the property is found.
(4) If the penalty is not paid and cannot be recovered by attachment and sale,
the person so bound shall be liable, by order of the court which issued the warrant,
to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months.
(5) The court may remit a portion of the penalty mentioned and enforce payment
in part only.
(6) When a person who has furnished security is convicted of an offence the
commission of which constitutes a breach of the conditions of his recognizance,
a certified copy of the judgment of the court by which he was convicted may be
used as evidence in proceedings under this section against his surety or sureties,
and, if the certified copy is so used, the court shall presume that the offence was
committed by him unless the contrary is proved.
132. Appeal from and revision of orders
All orders passed under section 131 by a magistrate shall be appealable to and
may be revised by the High Court.
133. Power to direct levy of amount due on certain recognizances

to appear and attend at the High Court.
