Loud shouting after drinking alcohol not enough for criminal case, Bombay high court rules TIMESOFINDIA.COM / Sep 11, 2026, 16:07 (IST) Bombay high court quashed a criminal case against two men. They faced proceedings under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act for loud shouting. The court found no obscen NEW DELHI: The Bombay high court has quashed a criminal case against two men booked under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act after they were allegedly found shouting loudly at each other on a public street while under the influence of alcohol. The court said mere loud shouting, without allegations of obscenity or other disorderly behaviour, did not make out a cognizable offence. Why did the men face criminal proceedings?According to the court order, the two applicants were accused in FIR registered at Pimpri police station under Section 85(1) of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949. The allegation was that, while under the influence of alcohol, they were shouting at each other loudly on a public street, allegedly causing disturbance to public peace. The high court noted that the prosecution had not alleged that the applicants shouted at any third party or otherwise disturbed public peace. “It is not the case of the prosecution that both the Applicants had shouted at any third party or disturbing public peace. Prima facie, on bare reading of the charges, I am of the clear opinion that no cognizable offences are made out and therefore interference of this Court is necessary,” the court said.

His dispute with the banks was settled after the debts were recovered, he had contended. Mumbai, Former liquor baron Vijay Mallya continues to evade the legal process in India, and the recovery of debts by the banks does not absolve him of the money laundering charges, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has submitted to the Bombay High Court.

His dispute with the banks was settled after the debts were recovered, he had contended.
