Explanation using Example

Imagine a scenario where a local court issues a warrant to seize certain illegal goods from a warehouse. The warrant is directed to a court-appointed bailiff, who is not a police officer. The bailiff goes to the warehouse to execute the warrant but needs help to carry the heavy goods. A warehouse worker sees the bailiff with the warrant and offers assistance. Since the bailiff is present and actively working on executing the warrant, the worker can legally help in carrying out the court's order under Section 38 of The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.
