Section 131 of CRPC "Power of certain armed force officers
to disperse assembly"
When the public security is manifestly endangered by any such
assembly and no Executive Magistrate can be communicated with,

disperse such assembly with the help of the armed forces under
his command, and may arrest and confine any persons forming part
of it, in order to disperse such assembly or that they may be
punished according to law; but if, while he is acting under this
section, it becomes practicable for him to communicate with an
Executive Magistrate, he shall do so, and shall thenceforward
obey the instructions of the Magistrate, as to whether he shall
or shall not continue such action.
