Statutory text (English)

(1) In the event of such security not being furnished
within the time fixed, the Court shall make an order dismissing the suit unless the plaintiff or plaintiffs
are permitted to withdraw therefrom.

(2) Where a suit is dismissed under this rule, the plaintiff may apply for an order to set the
dismissal aside, and, if it is proved to the satisfaction of the Court that he was prevented by any
sufficient cause from furnishing the security within the time allowed, the Court shall set aside the
