In Brief
The appellant was issued a bond for one year under the Code of Criminal Procedure to maintain good behaviour and peace in his locality. After executing the bond, he was subsequently charged with murder. An Executive Magistrate found him guilty of violating the bond's terms and ordered his arrest and custody. The High Court affirmed this decision. The Supreme Court held that the procedure prescribed under Chapter VIII of the Cr.P.C. was properly followed, due opportunity was afforded, and the restriction on personal liberty complied with Article 21. The appeal was dismissed.
