Procedure where he appears to show cause
AI Assist
Summary
When a person against whom a provisional order under section 133 is made appears and shows cause, the Magistrate must take evidence as in a summons-case. After hearing the evidence, if the Magistrate considers the order reasonable (either as made or after modification), the order is made absolute. If the Magistrate is not satisfied, no further proceedings are taken.
Example
Arjun gets a provisional order stopping him from running a roadside workshop after neighbours complain. He appears and shows cause; the Magistrate records evidence as in a summons-case. If the Magistrate finds the order reasonable with or without changes, the order is made absolute; if not, proceedings are dropped.
