Criminal Intimidation, Insult, Annoyance and Defamation
Appearing intoxicated in a public place (or one it's trespass to enter), and conducting oneself so as to annoy others, is punished with up to 24 hours' simple imprisonment, up to ₹1,000 fine, community service, or a combination.
This is a minor public-order offence for disruptive public intoxication, with a notably light penalty (up to 24 hours) reflecting its minor severity.
Someone visibly intoxicated in public, behaving in a way that annoys bystanders, faces this minor offence's light penalty, which notably includes community service as an option.
