Sonepat District Court, Haryana:<\/span> In a challan case filed against the accused who was charged under Section 3 read with Section 181<\/a> of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988<\/a> (‘MV Act’), a Single Judge Bench of Vikrant, JJ., held the driver guilty under Section 185<\/a> of the MV Act<\/a> and sentenced him to simple imprisonment for 15 days along with a fine of Rs 10,000.<\/p>\n

The driver pleaded guilty stating that he possessed a driving license but could not produce it, and he was drunk at the relevant time. The Court discharged him under Section 3 read with Section 181 but held him guilty under Section 185 of the MV Act for drunk driving. The Court stated that since driving in a drunken condition might result in serious adverse consequences not just for the drunk driver but also the other users of the road, no leniency was justified.<\/p>\n

Holding the aforesaid, the Court sentenced the driver to simple imprisonment for 15 days and imposed a fine of Rs 10,000. Additionally, his driving license was retained and suspended for 30 days.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the challan was disposed of.<\/p>\n
