A public space is a social space such as a town square that is open and accessible to all, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, age or socio-economic level.

Explanation to Section 133 Cr.P.C. defines 'public place':-

A "public place" includes also property belonging to the State, camping grounds and grounds left unoccupied for sanitary or
recreative purposes.

It is not very generic term and has been found defined differently in different
penal enactments.

A controversy arose if i remember correctly
before the division bench of Mumbai High Court under Gambling Act,where the question was: can a member of a club caught gambling face prosecution under the Prevention of Gambling Act for gambling in a public place?

And due to an other division bench judgement,it was referred to full bench
what happened there after i do not know.
The matter was referred in 2009,however.
