conviction"
(1) When a Court of Session or Court
of a Magistrate of the first class convicts a person of any of the offences
specified in sub-section (2) or of abetting any such offence and is of
opinion that it is necessary to take security from such person for keeping
the peace, the Court may, at the time of passing sentence on such person,
order him to execute a bond, with or without sureties, for keeping the peace
for such period, not exceeding three years, as it thinks fit.
(2) The offences referred to in sub-section (1) are-
(a) any offence punishable under Chapter VIII of the Indian Penal Code (45 of 1860), other than an offence punishable under section 153A or section 153B or section 154 thereof;
(b) any offence which consists of, or includes, assault or using criminal force or committing mischief;
(c) any offence of criminal intimidation;
(d) any other offence which caused, or was intended or known to be likely to cause, a breach of the peace.

(4) An order under this section may also be made by an Appellate Court or by a Court when exercising its powers of revision.
Section 107 of CRPC "Security for keeping the peace in other cases"
(1) When an Executive Magistrate receives information that any person is
likely to commit a breach of the peace or disturb the public tranquillity or
to do any wrongful act that may probably occasion a breach of the peace or
disturb the public tranquillity and is of opinion that there is sufficient
ground for proceeding, he may, in the manner hereinafter provided, require
such person to show cause why he should not be ordered to execute a bond 1
[with or without sureties,] for keeping the peace for such period, not
exceeding one year, as the Magistrate thinks fit.
(2) Proceedings under this section may be taken before any Executive
Magistrate when either the place where the breach of the peace or
disturbance is apprehended is within his local jurisdiction or there is
within such jurisdiction a person who is likely to commit a breach of the
peace or disturb the public tranquillity or to do any wrongful act as
aforesaid beyond such jurisdiction.
