  released on his own bond, a bond for such sum of money as the police officer or

  and, when he is released on bail, by one or more sufficient sureties
  
  conditioned that such person shall attend at the time and place mentioned in
  
  the bond, and shall continue so to attend until otherwise directed by the
  
  police officer or Court, as the case may be.
  (2) Where any condition is imposed for the release of any person on bail, the

  necessary, may either hold an inquiry itself or cause an inquiry to be made by
  
  a Magistrate subordinate to the Court, as to such sufficiency of fitness.
