Explanation using Example

Imagine a group of 100 people gathering to protest against a new government policy. Despite having no permission for the protest, they assemble in a busy public area, causing traffic jams and disrupting peace. The police arrive and lawfully order them to disperse. However, 30 of them refuse to leave and continue protesting. These individuals could be charged under Section 151 of The Indian Penal Code, as they knowingly continued in an assembly that was likely to disturb the public peace after being commanded to disperse by the police.
