Section 153 of BNSS : Section 153: Service or notification of order.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh, a shop owner in Mumbai, has been causing a public nuisance by playing loud music late at night, disturbing the neighborhood. The local police issue an order under Section 153 of The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023 to Rajesh, instructing him to stop playing loud music after 10 PM.

• (1) The police officer visits Rajesh's shop and personally hands over the order to him, ensuring that Rajesh understands the instructions and consequences of non-compliance.

Example 2:

Sita, a resident of a small village in Uttar Pradesh, has been dumping garbage in a public park, creating a health hazard for the community. The local authorities issue an order under Section 153 of The Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, directing Sita to cease this activity immediately.

• (2) The authorities attempt to serve the order to Sita at her home, but she is not present and cannot be located. Consequently, the order is notified by proclamation. The local government publishes the order in the village's weekly newsletter and posts a copy on the notice board at the village panchayat office and at the entrance of the public park. This ensures that Sita and other villagers are informed about the order and the required actions.
