In this case I have no doubt at all that the Magistrate totally misconceived his function under the section. I am content to rest my judgment on the decision in Queen-Empress v. Abdul Kadir 9 A. 452. There must be definite evidence in the case of any and every person charged under this section that there is a danger of a breach of the peace by him. It is clearly insufficient against a collective body of persons to suggest that they are indulging in feelings of hostility towards another body of persons. Man is a gregarious animal and apt to associate himself with friends, and, when he has got nothing else to do, to indulge his feelings of hostility towards his rivals and his friends. These feelings are very much to be deplored; but they do not entitle a Magistrate to make orders wholesale under this section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Shambhu Nath And Ors. vs Emperor on 12 May, 1916 Equivalent citations: 35 Ind Cas 832 Author: Walsh Bench: Walsh JUDGMENT Walsh, J. 1.
