Conditional order for removal of nuisance.
What this section does
A District Magistrate, Sub-divisional Magistrate, or specially empowered Executive Magistrate may, on receiving a police report or other information, issue a conditional order requiring a person to remove an unlawful obstruction or nuisance, regulate a harmful trade, prevent dangerous construction, repair or remove unsafe structures, fence dangerous excavations, or dispose of dangerous animals. The person against whom the order is made must either comply within the fixed time or appear and show cause why the order should not be made absolute. No Civil Court can question an order duly made under this section.

Why this matters
BNSS Section 152 forms part of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita which replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 on 1 July 2024. Any new filing, FIR, charge sheet, or bail application made on or after that date should cite the new section number. References to the old act in legacy documents remain valid for matters that arose before the changeover.
