Question

The Bond under section 109 Cr.P.C as security for good behaviour from suspected person can be executed for a period not exceeding:

• A. Six months
• B. Two years
• C. One year
• D. Three months

Hint:

The standard maximum period for security bonds for good behaviour under Sections 108 (seditious matters) and 109 (suspected persons) of the CrPC is one year.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Section 109 of the CrPC deals with taking security for good behaviour from persons who are taking precautions to conceal their presence with a view to committing a cognizable offence, or who have no ostensible means of subsistence. The section empowers an Executive Magistrate to require such a person to execute a bond for their good behaviour for a period not exceeding one year. This is a preventive measure aimed at preventing crime.
