Section 126.   Security for keeping peace in other cases.

(1) When an Executive Magistrate receives information that any person is likely
to commit a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquility or to do any wrongful act
that may probably occasion a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquility and is of
opinion that there is sufficient ground for proceeding, he may, in the manner hereinafter
provided, require such person to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a
bond with or without sureties, for keeping the peace for such period, not exceeding one
year, as the Magistrate thinks fit.
(2) Proceedings under this section may be taken before any Executive Magistrate
when either the place where the breach of the peace or disturbance is apprehended is within
his local jurisdiction or there is within such jurisdiction a person who is likely to commit a
breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquility or to do any wrongful act as aforesaid
beyond such jurisdiction.
