DCP (law and order) additional In the decision for CrPC 144 limitations, Hridesh Katheria observed that because Gautam Buddh Nagar routinely hosts government programmes and examinations, as well as rallies and demonstrations, it cannot be ruled out that antisocial individuals may disrupt the peace.
