Public Intoxication Leads to Unique Punishment: Community Service at Old Age Home

Jitesh Kumar, found guilty of public drinking, will serve his sentence uniquely. Instead of a fine or jail time, the court has ordered four days of community service at an Old Age Home in Sector 30.

This unusual sentencing, delivered on an unspecified date, aims at rehabilitation and social contribution. Kumar’s commitment involves direct interaction with senior citizens.

He is required to report to the investigating officer on August 7th, 2025. A detailed attendance chart and service report must be submitted to the court thereafter.

This case highlights a growing judicial trend towards restorative justice, focusing on rehabilitation over mere punishment. The impact of such initiatives on both the offender and the community warrants further observation and analysis, particularly in addressing societal issues like public intoxication.
