s 72Security for keeping peace in other cases

Whenever it appears to a Magistrate that any person is likely to commit a breach of the peace or to do any wrongful act that may probably occasion a breach of the peace, the Magistrate may, in such manner as provided in section 75, require such person to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond, with or without sureties, for keeping the peace for such period not exceeding one year as the Magistrate thinks fit to fix.
