The Probation of Offenders Ordinance, 1960

( Ordinance NO. XLV OF 1960 )

Failure to observe conditions of the bond
7. (1) If the court by which an offender is bound by a bond under section 5 has reason to believe that the offender has failed to observe any of the conditions of his bond, it may issue a warrant for his arrest or may, if it thinks fit, issue summons to the offender and his sureties, if any, requiring them to appear before it at such time as may be specified in the summons.
 
 
(2) The court before which an offender is brought or appears under sub-section (1) may either remand him to judicial custody until the case is heard or admit him to bail, with or without sureties, to appear on the date of hearing.
 
 
 
 
(3) If the court, after hearing the case, is satisfied that the offender has failed to observe any of the conditions of his bond, including any conditions which may have been imposed under sub-section (2) of section 5, it may forthwith-
 
 
 
 
(a) sentence him for the original offence, or
 
 
 
 
(b) without prejudice to the continuance in force of the bond, impose upon him a fine not exceeding one thousand 1[taka]:
 
 
 
 
Provided that the court imposing the fine shall take into account the amount of compensation, damages or costs ordered to be paid under section 6.
 
 
 
 
(4) If a fine imposed under clause (b) of sub-section (3) is not paid within such period as the court may fix, the court may sentence the offender for the original offence.
