Section 107 Cr.P.C is an effective means for preventing breach of peace or disturbance of public tranquillity in connection with religious processions, festivals, fairs, elections, political movements or other disputes between groups/factions that may probably occasion a breach of peace or disturbance of public tranquillity that may require such person to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond, with or without sureties, for keeping peace and good behaviour for a period not exceeding one year. It is not essential in every case that there should be two parties against each other.
Before starting the proceedings, the police will collect evidence of persons acquainted with the circumstances of the case, the specific occasion on which the breach of the peace is anticipated or the existence of circumstances which are likely to lead to the breach. If any person or group commits an act that results in disturbing the peace and public tranquillity in the area, he/they can be bound over u/s 107 Cr.P.C. by directing them to execute bonds to keep the peace in the area.
