Can police enter private spaces without a warrant in India?

I have a question that is affecting my business idea. I want to open a restaurant with private camping-style huts where people can book time slots and enjoy food. Some have warned me that police may enter, check the huts, and arrest people or me if anything inappropriate happens. My question is: Does Indian law allow police to enter private spaces like this without a warrant? What privacy rights and freedoms does the Indian Constitution provide in such situations?

Indian law provides privacy rights under the Constitution, but the police can enter any place if they have a warrant or if they suspect illegal activity. As long as your restaurant operates legally and respectfully, you should be protected, but it is advisable to consult a local lawyer for detailed guidance to ensure no violations occur.
