I’m 25 years old, living in Delhi. I was caught drinking in public and, scared, gave the police a fake name and address. When they pressed me, I told them the truth. They let me go on surety, saying I’d be called to appear before the Magistrate. Now, the court has contacted me and mentioned a potential transfer to the Judicial Commissioner. I’m unsure what charges are being considered. What legal options do I have?

You face potential charges for consuming alcohol in public and providing false information to the police. You should consult a lawyer immediately to understand the specific charges and potential consequences. They can help you navigate the legal process, including potential options like pleading guilty, negotiating a plea bargain, or defending yourself in court.
