47. The learned Advocate on the basis of the earlier referred decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court submitted, that as there is nothing on record to Show that the applicant stood surety for monetary considerations, but in fact he being neighbour out of benevolent considerations, be stood surety for the five accused persons in question and as such the amount of surety bond forfeited ought to be reasonable, keeping in view the observations of the Hon ble Supreme Court, in the earlier mentioned case.

2. The learned Advocate appearing for the State submitted, that it is true, there is nothing on record to show, that the applicant stood surety for monetary consideration and as such the forfeiture of the entire surety bond is not called for and therefore he submitted that amount of forfeiture may be reduced.
