Regarding discharge of surety

Hi, I had given a bail bond to a person who was inside for section 420, 120b, etc, etc.

I remember that as per the court's decision I have given a surety of Rs 15000/- amount (equal to my bike's RC).

Now, I don't want to continue this. How can I withdraw it and will I be in trouble in doing so like court would also punish me in this or not?

How much total expense in moving such application in court?

Refer to section 123 (10) and 444 (1 ) CrPc.

You can always move an application seeking your discharge as surety u/s 446 of the CrPC. The Court would not punish you - and it's better to do that while you can. Because being a surety is a big responsibility. On your application the court would issue a warrant of arrest for the accused, and after calling him - it would discharge you.

Feel free to seek any clarifications !
