Why is the police asking for a Chapter 40 bond?

Why is the local police asking me to write a bond related to Chapter 40 when I went to file an FIR against a local goon who attacked me with a stick? (I suspect the police are influenced by the goon.) Should I agree to write a Chapter 40 bond?

This bond ensures peace and good behavior. You are not obligated to sign unless ordered by the court. If the police force you, consult a lawyer to understand your rights. You can refuse if it’s unfair, especially if the police are biased. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
