Section 189.   Release of accused when evidence deficient.

If, upon an investigation under this Chapter, it appears to the officer in charge of
the police station that there is not sufficient evidence or reasonable ground of suspicion to
justify the forwarding of the accused to a Magistrate, such officer shall, if such person is in
custody, release him on his executing a bond, with or without sureties, as such officer may
direct, to appear, if and when so required, before a Magistrate empowered to take cognizance
of the offence on a police report, and to try the accused or commit him for trial.
