• The major duty of a surety is to ensure that the accused person appears in court whenever required.
• A surety also has a duty to inform the court when the accused is planning to leave the country or run away from the court or go into hiding if they learn about it.

Every accused person is entitled to apply to the court for bail while waiting for trial. The decision is up to the court to give or not to give bail to an accused person.

A surety is a person who appears in court and promises that the accused will come to court for his or her trial if released on bail. He or she accepts the responsibility to pay a fixed sum of money to the government if the accused does not appear in court when needed.
