(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 or bail bond 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

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.
