47. Enforcement of bonds

Where any person is required to enter into a bond under section 8(1), 10 or 31(3), such bond may be enforced by any Magistrate on the application of any police officer not below the rank of sergeant, in the same manner as under the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 the court of such Magistrate may enforce a bond required by that court to be executed under the provisions of that Code.

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the penalty or any part thereof of any such bond from being recovered by suit or action in any civil court of competent jurisdiction, from the person entering into such bond or from his sureties, in accordance with any law for the time being in force relating to Government proceedings.
