Telangana High Court Orders Police To Provide Surveillance To Actor Mohan Babu After Alleged Attack Orchestrated By Son To Grab His House

The Telangana High Court on Wednesday in an interim order directed the Commissionerate Of Police, Hyderabad and Additional District Magistrate, Rachakonsa not to compel the presence of actor and MP Mohan Babu in a show cause notice issued to him under section 126 of BNSS. Section 126 BNSS states that 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 cause 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 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. Despite, the mental agony faced by the petitioner, the counsel of the petitioner contended that he was shocked to receive a show cause notice under section 126 of the BNSS by the Magistrate. Thus, with no other option left, the petitioner approached the Court by way of the present Writ petition seeking quashment of the show cause notice issued to him and police protection.
