Ravi owns a small shop in a busy market area in Delhi. Over time, he starts storing his merchandise on the sidewalk, causing an obstruction for pedestrians. Several complaints are made to the local police station about the inconvenience caused by Ravi's goods blocking the public pathway. The police report this to the District Magistrate. After reviewing the evidence, the Magistrate issues a conditional order under Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, directing Ravi to remove the merchandise from the sidewalk within 7 days. If Ravi fails to comply, he must appear before the Magistrate to explain why the order should not be made absolute.
