<h1>Executive Magistrates Can Demand Security for Good Behavior Under Section 127, 2023; State Approval Needed for Publications</h1> Section 127 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, empowers an Executive Magistrate to require individuals within their jurisdiction to provide security for good behavior if they disseminate or attempt to disseminate certain punishable matters. This includes materials punishable under specific sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, or matters concerning judges that amount to criminal intimidation or defamation. It also covers the circulation of obscene materials. The Magistrate can demand a bond for up to one year. However, proceedings against registered publication entities require state government authorization.
