1Polity

📰 In news: The Delhi High Court reserved its verdict on 22 October on a student leader's plea against a police notice asking for a bond to keep the peace.

Under Section 126 of the BNSS, 2023, an Executive Magistrate may require a person to execute a bond for keeping the peace for a period not exceeding:

Answer: (b) One year. Section 126(1) BNSS (old Section 107 CrPC) lets an Executive Magistrate ask a person likely to commit a breach of the peace to show cause why they should not execute a bond, with or without sureties, for up to one year. It is preventive, not a punishment.

Answer: (a) Madhu Limaye (1970). The Court held the power to demand a peace bond to be a reasonable restriction, but said the Magistrate's order must state the substance of the information so the person can answer it. That safeguard is now in Section 130 BNSS.
