Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 is related to which one among the following ?
Explanation
Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, replaces Section 144 of the erstwhile Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973. It provides the power to issue orders in urgent cases of nuisance or apprehended danger.
- This section empowers a District Magistrate, a Sub-divisional Magistrate, or any other Executive Magistrate specially authorized by the State Government to issue directions to individuals or the general public to abstain from certain acts.
- Such orders are issued to prevent obstruction, annoyance, or injury to persons lawfully employed, or to prevent danger to human life, health, or safety, or a disturbance of public tranquility, riot, or affray.
- While Option A (Injunction pending inquiry) is covered under Section 161, Option B (Conditional order for removal of nuisance) is under Section 152, and Option C (Dispute concerning right of use of land or water) is under Section 166 of the BNSS.
