“The command therefore warns all the parties involved to maintain decorum before, during and after the judgment.

“It further advises whichever party that comes out victorious to be responsible and respect other people’s rights while jubilating and celebrating, and not to use such medium to foment trouble or conduct themselves in a manner that could cause of the public peace.
