It may require such person to show cause as to why he should not be ordered to execute a bond, with or without sureties, for keeping peace and good behavior for a period not exceeding one year.

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 under Section 107 CrPC by directing them to execute bonds to keep the peace in the area.
