''any person lawfully in the premises'' : the meaning of the phrase as it appears in an Act/Rule is to be understood as explained/defined in the particular statute; your question does not mention the statute where in you came across the phrase; therefore the meaning of the phrase which can be understood in common parlance may be elucidated from the examples given below:

1. A person entering a shop with the intention of purchasing an article is a person lawfully in the premises of the shop;

2. A person striding through the Park is a person lawfully in the premises of the Park;

3. Driver/owner of a Vehicle entrusted to a workshop is a person lawfully in the premises of the workshop;

4. A person watching the Court proceedings whether inside or out side the Court Hall is a person lawfully in the premises of the Court.
