Walking on the road drunk not creating any nuisance police fined me
02-Sep-2023 (In Criminal Law)
If iam drink alcohol. Iam not making any public nuisance .iam walking on the road . if police are there on the way . they told me you are drunken so you have to pay fine . if iam not making any problem , they can take action against me?..
Dear,
Unfortunately there is such a provision still exists in our IPC and connected Criminal Laws that ''Police can charge some one who is incapable to save him self". So, if at all one man who is not creating nuisance to others still Police can invoke this provision in their favour, especially one who wandering in street in drunken state/stage. However, some one should challenge such type of stringent provisions in the Court of Law.
