Section 129 BNSS | Mandatory Show-Cause Hearing Required Before Ordering Bail Bond for Good Behaviour: Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court has held that an Executive Magistrate cannot direct execution of a bail bond under Section 129 of the BNSS without first affording the individual a meaningful opportunity to show cause. This ruling reinforces natural justice in pre-conviction procedural orders and protects individuals from coercive bail conditions imposed without due process.
