Assembly To Disperse On Command of Magistrate Or Police Any Magistrate or officer in charge of a police station may command any unlawful assembly or any assembly of five or more persons likely to cause a disturbance of the public peace to disperse; and it shall thereupon be the duty of the members of such assembly to disperse accordingly. 94. Use Of Civil Force To Disperse. If, upon being so commanded, any such assembly does not disperse or if, without being so commanded, it conducts itself in such a manner as to show a determination not to disperse, any Magistrate or officer in charge of a police station may proceed to disperse such assembly by force and may require the assistance of any male person, not being a military officer or soldier acting as such, for the purpose of dispersing such assembly and if necessary, arresting and confining the persons who form part of it, in order to disperse such assembly or that they may be punished according to law. Any such person whose assistance is so required shall be bound to render such assistance. Note: - For punishment for omitting to assist see section 162 of the Penal Code. 95. Use of Military Force If any such assembly cannot be otherwise dispersed and if it is necessary for the public security that it should be dispersed the Magistrate of the highest rank who is present may cause it to be dispersed by military force. 96. Duty of Officer Commanding Troops Required by Magistrate To disperse Assembly. (1) When a Magistrate determines that any such assembly ought to be dispersed by military force, he may require any commissioned or non-commissioned officer in command of any troops to disperse such assembly by military force and to arrest and confine such persons forming part of it as the Magistrate may direct or as it may be necessary to arrest and confine in order to disperse the assembly or to have them punished according to law. 28
