Section 175 - Reconsideration of amount of bail on application by law officer or police

Where a defendant has been admitted to bail and circumstances arise which, if the defendant had not been admitted to bail would, in the opinion of a law officer or police officer, justify the court in refusing bail or in requiring bail of greater amount, a court, may:

(a) on the circumstances being brought to its notice by a law officer or police officer, issue a warrant for the arrest of the defendant; and

(b) after giving him an opportunity of being heard, commit him to prison to await trial or admit him to bail for the same or an increased amount as the court may deem just.
