Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) – Order To Give Security
Explanation:
This section deals with the power of a Magistrate to order a person to execute a bond with or without sureties, if it is deemed necessary for maintaining peace or good behavior. This is a preventative measure aimed at preventing potential breaches of the peace or disorderly conduct.
**Key Points:**
- A Magistrate can order a bond only after an inquiry is conducted, which establishes the necessity for such action.
- The bond can be executed with or without sureties, depending on the circumstances.
- The terms of the bond (nature, amount, and duration) cannot exceed those specified in Section 130 of the BNSS.
- The amount of the bond must be reasonable and not excessive.
- If the person subject to the bond is a minor, only their sureties can execute the bond.
**Illustration:**
Imagine a situation where there are repeated instances of verbal abuse and threats between two neighbors. The Magistrate, after conducting an inquiry, might conclude that ordering one or both individuals to execute a bond would be necessary to prevent further escalation and maintain peace in the neighborhood.
