Answer 2

Section 144

Section 144 empowers the administration - technically a district magistrate or any other executive magistrate -- to issue order in urgent cases of nuisance or apprehended danger.

Violation of Section 144 is liable for punishment upto three years in jail. However, in most cases involving public protests, as is the case with protests over the Citizenship Amendment Bill, the protesters are taken into custody by police and released after few hours. They are taken away from the site of protests in most cases.
