About this template

What is this template?

This is a combined bail-bond and surety affidavit used in Indian criminal proceedings to ensure a defendant's appearance. It is not a private contract but a statutory instrument that includes a specific pledge of funds to the government and a sworn statement of property value.

When should you use it?

Use this form when a court has granted bail subject to the execution of a bond with a surety. Use a simple Personal Bond (without surety) if the court does not require a third-party guarantee.
