Will it cause any problem if charged for drinking at public place


09-Oct-2023 (In Criminal Law)
We were caught drinking in a public place in gurgaon, the police caught us and took us to the police station. Then we were taken to the hospital for blood verification. We were asked to come to court the next day and were charged of public nuisance and drinking in public. In the court we had paid a Rs 500 fine plus someone had given a guarantee/bail for us. I am very scared if this will ruin my chances of going abroad or will create a problem in background verification for jobs. I've just started my career. Please help!?

Dear client, as explained you were caught by the police and were taken to police station, thereafter produced before the Court and gave a fine of Rs. 500. Since you were granted bail, it is important to know whether any chargesheet has been filed in your case or not. It is advisable to have a detailed discussion of your case in order to provide legal opinion. Thanks & Regards.

Yes, you may face problems for police verification for jobs or for passport verification and this fact will be a record against you. Though it is not a heinous crime, it may not always seriously affect all your career opportunities. Hope this answers your query.
