Section:

(a) Police Act (V of 1863)---------S: 34 (6)-"Drunk"-Mere taking of intoxicant not enough-person must be completely. under its effect. The Legislature has used the expression " is drunk " and not " has drunk."

(c) Police Act (V of 1861)------ ----S. 34-"Annoyance"-Shout­ing of slogans or arguing with police in loud voice or making un­called for remarks, about highly placed public servants-Whether would necessarily result in'' annoyance ". Shouting of slogans by people collected at a spot can hardly be conclusive proof of annoyance.
