In the instant case, the magistrate required 4 persons to execute a bond of Rs. 35000/- each , with one surety of same amount for keeping the peace for 8 months.

This is common case against four persons and out of which two only appeared in the court on the date of hearing and their attendance was marked by the court official, However, magistrate did not come and those two were given next date. Now in this case, from which date the period of 8 months will start when magistrate did not come and attendance was marked by only two persons out of four persons.
