Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the order passed by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) under Section 133 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, affirming the Bombay High Court's decision. The Court established that the SDM's order was justified based on evidence showing that the loading and unloading of dry chillies from the godown adversely affected the health and comfort of local residents. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the SDM's findings and the High Court's ruling.
