AAlthough no specific law makes kissing in public illegal, section 294 of the Indian Penal Code prohibits public obscenity, which can be interpreted to include public displays of affection like kissing that cause annoyance or objection to others.
If you argue too much, without any powerful relative to back you up, cops can easily get fake witnesses to file a complaint of public annoyance or obscenity. You plead, beg and negotiate and end up paying 5k and get away from this situation.
Believe me you don’t want to face a case of this type in the Indian courts.
ANAL.If you are well-dressed for that specific hotel space, you can walk into any hotel directly and go to the toilet. You don’t need to worry about asking anyone. When I was younger, when this law wasn’t even there, I drove to the Marriott Hotel Juhu, Mumbai, gave the car to valet, and walked in for a #2. However, there was only tissue paper and no jet, so that was the first and last time I did that. Btw I saw later than guest rooms have jet, just the public ones at reception level make do with tissue.
But I have walked into restaurants confidently and used the washroom for #1 many times. You don’t need to ask. Just be confident and ensure your behaviour and clothes don’t look out of place.
A“Not knowing the law” or “forgetting” is not an excuse.This is what ChatGPT told me about this case
If someone is caught on a railway platform in India without a **platform ticket**, here’s what typically happens:
# ✅ What the Ticket Checker (TC) Usually Does:
* The **TC (Ticket Collector)** will **issue a fine on the spot**.
* The fine usually includes:
* The cost of the **platform ticket** (usually ₹10–₹50 depending on the station), and
* A **penalty**, which can be **up to ₹250 or more**, depending on the rules of Indian Railways and the discretion of the TC.# 🧾 After Paying the Fine:
* The person is given a **receipt** for the fine.
* No need to go to court.
* The matter is settled right there.# 🛑 If You Refuse to Pay or Argue:
* If someone **refuses to pay** the fine or creates trouble, then the TC can:
* **Call the RPF (Railway Protection Force)**.
* **Detain the person** and possibly file a case.
* In such a case, the person **may have to appear in court**.So in short:
**Yes, the fine is usually issued on the spot, and there’s no need to go to court unless the person refuses to cooperate.**AIf you get a lawyer to file a case about noise pollution, you will has 10 times the stress which you currently have.
Simple solution, get a vibrating boom box speaker on rent, point the speaker towards their house, and play heavy metal music at top volume at the same time. Make sure the speaker has strong bass or get a separate bass speaker.
Keep the volume same level as he is keeping it. Problem solved in couple of days.
