Generally, "to put someone in his place" has a negative connotation. It is often used when someone oversteps the bounds of politeness, or gets involved where he is not wanted.
The response to such behaviour or action is often to state that one will "put [the offender] in his place." It means to remind the person who has erred that he is out of bounds, and that his actions are not welcomed.
