Drunk Driving lawyers in Pune: what to know before you hire

A guide by LawzanaOfficial sources checked 29 October 2026.

This guide covers law and procedure in India.

Before you hire a lawyer

Questions to ask

  • What experience do you have with section 185 cases?
  • How would you assess the options in my case?
  • Who would prepare my case and attend hearings?
  • How would you keep me informed, and in which language?
  • Are you available around the dates in my notices?
  • Can we meet in person, by phone or by video?
  • Would you also handle any licensing proceedings?
What to bring
  • Any challan, summons or court order you have.
  • Any breath-test printout or medical report available to you.
  • Any licence seizure receipt or licensing notice.
  • Your driving licence and vehicle papers, if available.
  • A short timeline, photographs and details of possible witnesses.

Costs and free help

Official charges and free public services

Court-appointed defence at trial or appeal
Free if the court finds insufficient means
Under section 341, in a trial or appeal, if you have no advocate and the court finds you cannot afford one, it must assign an advocate at State expense. [1]

Questions about lawyer charges

  • Is there a charge for the first consultation?
  • How will you calculate fees for my matter?
  • Does the quote include hearings, applications, taxes and other expenses?
  • Can I have a written quote explaining what could lead to extra charges?

Common questions

What does section 185 prohibit?

Section 185 covers driving or attempting to drive a motor vehicle with blood alcohol exceeding 30 mg per 100 ml, detected by a breath analyser or another test, including a laboratory test. It also covers driving or attempting to drive while under a drug's influence to the point of being unable to control the vehicle properly. [10]

What are the penalties for a first or repeat offence?

For a first offence under section 185, the punishment is up to six months' imprisonment, a ₹10,000 fine, or both. For a second or subsequent offence, it is up to two years' imprisonment, a ₹15,000 fine, or both. [10]

What happens if I refuse a breath test?

Under section 203(4), refusing or failing to provide a breath sample required by police under section 203(1) or (2) can lead to arrest without warrant if police reasonably suspect alcohol in your blood. This arrest power does not apply while you are a hospital inpatient. [10]

How do I count the criminal appeal deadline, and what if I am late?

For an appeal, exclude the day judgment was pronounced and the time required to obtain a copy of the decree, sentence or order appealed from. Time spent preparing a decree or order before the copy application is not excluded. A late appeal needs sufficient cause accepted by the court; otherwise an appeal filed after the prescribed period is subject to dismissal. [3] [1]
