Explain itIllustrate itCommon Questions and AnswersQ1. What are the criteria for a person to be considered a “suspected person” under Section 109?A1.Q2. What are the rights of the person subject to a security bond under Section 109?A2.Q3. What happens if the person violates the conditions of the security bond?A3.

When 1 [an Executive Magistrate] receives information that there is within his local jurisdiction a person taking precautions to conceal his presence and that there is reason to believe that he is doing so with a view to committing a cognizable offence, the Magistrate 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 his good behaviour for such period, not exceeding one year, as the Magistrate thinks fit.

Explain it

  • Grounds for Application: The Magistrate can invoke this section if there are reasonable grounds to believe that a person is:
    • About to commit a crime.
    • Likely to disturb public peace.
    • Engaged in activities that threaten public safety.
  • Order for Security: The Magistrate can order the suspected person to furnish security for good behaviour, which means the person must provide a guarantee that they will not engage in any unlawful activities or disturb the peace.
  • Types of Security:
    • Personal Bond: The person may be required to execute a bond, promising to maintain good behaviour.
    • Sureties: The person may need to produce one or more sureties, who guarantee their good conduct.
    • Financial Security: The Magistrate can impose a financial penalty, which the person will have to pay if they violate the conditions of the bond.
  • Duration of Bond: The Magistrate decides the duration of the security bond, which can range from a few weeks to several years.
  • Appeal: The person can appeal against the Magistrate’s order to a higher court.

Illustrate it

Suppose a person is known to be involved in gang fights and has threatened to cause violence in the area. The local Magistrate, based on this information, can invoke Section 109 and order the person to provide security for good behaviour. This might involve requiring the person to execute a bond, provide sureties, or pay a financial penalty. Failure to comply with these conditions could lead to legal consequences.
