Summary
District or Sub-divisional Magistrates, or any Executive Magistrate empowered by the State or District Magistrate, can order a person to stop and not repeat a public nuisance. It applies where the conduct amounts to a public nuisance under the IPC or any special or local law. The order forbids continuance or repetition of the nuisance and can be followed by further legal steps if the person disobeys.
