Actually it can have two meanings. 'bound over' is a term usually referring to the court's power to hold, on bail, a person accused of a crime. HOWEVER - Definitions and procedures vary by jurisdiction. For example, another definition defines 'bound over' as meaning "the transfer of a felony case from one division of the court to another after finding probable cause that the defendant committed a felony or, after the waiver of a preliminary hearing by the accused defendant.
