  referred to as Section 144, CrPC is an assembly.
  According to Selection that prohibits unlawful as
  section 144, any unlawful assembly of five or
  more individuals is prohibited. While Section 144
  has been debated over the years between different
  sections of law and order, it remains in force
  even today.
• Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code grants the
  government the power to ensure peace and
  tranquility in certain situations. According to
  this law, if there is any apprehension that a

  breach of the peace or disturb the public
  tranquility and law and order, the District
  Magistrate may proclaim a district to be under
  Section 144 of CRPC.

What Is The Punishment Of 144

• Whoever, being armed with any deadly weapon, or
  with anything which, used as a weapon of offense,
  is likely to cause death, is a member of an
  unlawful assembly, shall be punished with
  imprisonment of either description for a term
  which may extend to two years, or with fine, or
  with both. The Punishment is there because
  sometimes it is hard to convince the People,
  during the time of curfew or any religious
  conflict, the people dont understand the things
  and the situation. So for public safety
  government has to issue section 144 in the
  particular area for some time. Section 144 of
  CRPC is applicable to cases where the accused is
  found creating violence or threat to public
  peace, disturbance of public tranquillity or
  social order, and prevention of the public from
  freely exercising their rights.
