Heard learned counsel for the parties. There is no provision under Section 446 Cr.P.C. to pass an interim order. The procedure when bond has been forfeited has been prescribed under Section 446 including remitting any portion of the penalty mentioned and enforce payment in part. In the circumstances, therefore, the order impugned cannot sustain and is liable to be set aside. The appeal is therefore, allowed. The order impugned dated 5.7.2007 is set aside and the matter is remanded to the trial court to decide the proceedings under Section 446 Cr.P.C. finally after hearing the parties. (H.R.PANWAR),J. rp
