Surety bond

Such a bond is executed for the purpose of ensuring the presence of the accused concerned in Court in which he is standing his trial for a criminal offence at the hearing of the case.

It is not necessary that by the act of consumption the commodity must be destroyed or used up. When uncrushed salt is crushed in the factory it is commercially a different article and the uncrushed salt must be held to have been consumed. The word 'use' is or wider import than 'consumption'. It cannot be denied that the uncrushed salt has been used and by the user a new product, crushed salt has come into existence, Kathiawar Industries Ltd. v. Jaffrabad Municipality, (1979) 4 SCC 56: AIR 1979 SC 1721 (1723, 1724)....
