    If he does not deposit the amount, the bail will be cancelled and he will have to seek bail again. meanwhile, the case will proceed further and court will record the evidence from your end. the interim compensation which is directed by the Court is to be recovered as per Clause 5 of the Section 143A which clearly provides that the same can be recovered treating the present compensation as fine under section 421 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
