Dear ION management,
I visited your premises on 5th Jan 2013 at 7:30pm. Lot of people were smoking & drinking. Also obsene music was being played on the stage. YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE FOLLOWING RULES:
1. Section 268 of the Indian Penal Code : “smoking is a public nuisance underand an offence punishable……”
2. You were not checking the age of the people entering yoru premises.
3. Section 292.1 (2) (a) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860. The code clearly states “Whoever sells, lets to hire, distributes, publicly exhibits or in any manner puts into circulation……”
4. Section 292.1 (2) (c) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860. The code clearly states “Whoever takes part in or receives profits from any business in the course of which he knows or has reason to believe that any such obscene objects are……”
5. Section 292.1 (2) (d) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860. The code clearly states “Whoever advertises or makes known by any means whatsoever that any person is engaged or is ready to engage in any act which is an offence under…”
6. Section 292.1 (2) (e) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860. The code clearly states “Whoever offers or attempts to do any act which is an offence under this section, shall be punished 1[ on first conviction with imprisonment…”
7. Section 293 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860
8. Section 294.4 (a) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 ” Obscene acts and songs.– Whoever, to the annoyance of others..”
9. Section 294.4 (b) in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 “sings, recites or utters any obscene song, ballad or words, in or near any …”
The people who played were publicly spreading hatred, obsenity, partial nudity, vulgarity & general socially unacceptable behaviour. Some people were pushing each other violently in the audience. This could have resulted in serious injuty. Also i suspect some of the people were doing drugs & other narcotics.
If you don’t stop hiring such acts, I WILL BRING THE LOCAL POLICE & BOOK YOU UNDER OFFENCE UNDER INDIAN PENAL CODE.
As an establishment you should be more responsible towards the people you hire for entertainment.
I WILL KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON YOUR ESTABLISHMENT. I BELONG TO AN NGO WITH GOOD CONTACTS. I AM A PRACTICING LAWYER MYSELF. IF SUCH IRRESPONSIBLE ACTS CONTINUE IN YOUR PREMISES I WILL SHUT YOU DOWN & SLAP A NOTICE FOR LEGAL ACTION.
