126. (1) When an Executive Magistrate receives information that any person is likely
to commit a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquillity or to do any wrongful act
that may probably occasion a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquillity and is of

bond or bail bond for keeping the peace for such period, not exceeding one year, as the
Magistrate thinks fit.
