Explanation:
· Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr.P.C.), 1973: This Section empowers the District Magistrate or any other Executive Magistrate specially empowered in this behalf by the State Government, to remove public nuisances. This includes ordering the removal of obstructions, illegal constructions, or any other nuisances affecting the public's convenience or safety.
Information Booster:
1. Public Nuisance: Section 133 deals with issues that affect the public at large, such as illegal constructions, obstructions on public pathways, waterway pollution, and other activities that pose a threat to public health or safety.
2. Role of District Magistrate: The District Magistrate has the authority to take immediate and necessary action to remove such nuisances, ensuring the well-being of the public.
3. Procedure: The District Magistrate issues a conditional order requiring the person causing the nuisance to remove it or appear before the magistrate to show cause why the order should not be enforced.
Additional Information:
· Judicial Magistrate First Class: Typically handles judicial matters and trials but does not have specific powers under Section 133 for removing nuisances.
· Chief Judicial Magistrate: Supervises the functioning of the Judicial Magistrates within their jurisdiction but does not exercise powers under Section 133 specifically for nuisance removal.
