(1) If an appellant or
respondent does not wish to remain on recognizance in the course of
the appeal proceedings, he or she may make a petition to that effect
to the court.
(2) If a petition is made pursuant to sub-section (1), the
court may discontinue his or her appearance on the appointed dates,
by getting a deed to be executed by the appellant or respondent to the
effect that he or she will appear as and when the court so requires.
Provided that the appellant or respondent who is not on
recognizance may, if he or she so wishes, appear on the date
appointed for appearance for the hearing of the appeal.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this
Section, if, during the hearing of appeal, the court is of the opinion
that the appellant should be inquired into any matter or required to
produce any evidence in relation to the appeal, the court may order
the appellant to keep on appearing on the appointed dates for
appearance.
