Q112 (CISF/2020) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which of the following has the power to pass orders prohibiting any person from repeating or continuing a public nuisance?

Explanation

Under Section 143 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973 (and Section 162 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023), the authority to pass orders prohibiting any person from repeating or continuing a public nuisance is vested in specific administrative officers. These include:

  • A District Magistrate
  • A Sub-divisional Magistrate
  • Any other Executive Magistrate who is specifically empowered by the State Government or the District Magistrate in this regard.

A public nuisance is defined as an act or omission that causes common injury, danger, or annoyance to the public. Since the law explicitly empowers all the officials mentioned in options A, B, and C (provided the Executive Magistrate is duly empowered), the correct answer is All of the above.
