  (1) A magistrate on receiving information that any 23[person]
  
  residing in or frequenting any place within the local limits of his
  
  jurisdiction is a prostitute, may record the substance of the information
  
  received and issue a notice to such 23[person] requiring him to
  
  appear before the magistrate and show cause why he should not be required to
  
  remove himself from the place and be prohibited from re-entering it.
  (2) Every notice issued under sub-section (1) shall be
  
  accompanied by copy ofthe record aforesaid, and the copy shall be served
  
  along with the notice on the 23[person] against whom the notice is
  
  issued.
  (3) The magistrate shall, after the service of the notice
  
  referred to in sub-section (2), proceed to inquire into the truth of the
  
  information received, and after giving the 23[person] an opportunity
  
  of adducing evidence, take such further evidence as he thinks fit; and if upon
  
  such inquiry it appears to him that such 23[person] is a prostitute
  
  and that it is necessary in the interests of the general public that such 23[person]
  
  should be required to remove himself there from and be prohibited from
  
  re-entering the same, the magistrate shall, by order in writing communicated to
  
  the 23[person] in the manner specified therein, require him after a
  
  date (to be specified in the order) which shall not be less than seven days
  
  from the date of the order, to remove himself from the place to such place
  
  whether within or without the local limits of his jurisdiction, by such route
  
  or routes and within such time as may be specified in the order and also
  
  prohibit him from re-entering the place without the permission in writing of
  
  the magistrate having jurisdiction over such place.
  (4) Whoever- 
  (a) fails to comply with an order issued under
  
  this section, within the period specified therein, or whilst an order
  
  prohibiting him from re-entering a place without permission is in force,
  
  re-enters the place without such permission, or
  (b) knowing that any 23[person]
  
  has, under this section, been required to remove himself from the place and has
  
  not obtained the requisite permission to re-enter it, harbors or conceals such 23[person]
  
  in the place, shall be punishable with fine which may extend to two hundred
  
  rupees and in the case of a continuing offence with an additional fine which
  
  may extend to twenty rupees for every day after the first during which he has
  
  persisted in the offence.
