Explanation:

This section deals with the commencement date of the period for which security is required under sections 125 and 136 of the BNSS. It essentially states:

  • If the person against whom the security order is made is already serving a prison sentence, the security period will begin upon their release.
  • If the person is not currently serving a sentence, the security period will start on the date the order is made.
  • The Magistrate can, for justifiable reasons, postpone the commencement of the security period to a later date.

Illustration:

Imagine a man, X, is ordered to provide security under Section 125 for his wife, Y. However, X is currently serving a two-year prison sentence. In this case, the security period for X will start upon his release from prison. This is two years from the date of the order.

Common Questions and Answers:

  • Q: What happens if the person fails to provide security within the stipulated period?

A: Failure to provide security within the specified timeframe can lead to further legal action, including possible arrest.

  • Q: What are the “sufficient reasons” for postponing the commencement date of the security period?

A: These reasons could include circumstances like illness and financial hardship. It could also be other compelling factors that necessitate a delay in providing security.

  • Q: Can the Magistrate extend the security period beyond the initial duration?

A: Yes, under certain circumstances, the Magistrate can extend the security period upon a fresh application.
