People that do not follow the 10pm-5am daily curfew can face up to 2 years imprisonment if they are convicted for Disobedience of Lawful Order.

Under Section 202 of the Crimes Act, everyone who disobeys any order, warrant or command duly made, issued or given by any court, officer or person acting in any public capacity and duly authorised in that behalf, commits a summary offence.

The penalty is imprisonment for 2 years, unless any other penalty or mode of proceeding is expressly prescribed by law in respect of such disobedience.
